"The CIMA certification is a valuable next step for CFP advisors who want to grow the knowledge base and skill set they need to build and maintain relationships with high-net-worth and other sophisticated investors."

"Earlier in my career, the CIMA certification gave me the confidence to be at the table with CFA® charterholders and institutional portfolio managers. It helped me understand what they were talking about and enabled me to challenge or defend their ideas with my own. By adding breadth and depth to my investment knowledge, the program has allowed me to cover the gamut of industry topics as a coach. The CIMA certification tells advisors that I also understand the investment side of the business and that I can help them construct model portfolios through disciplined investing. Earning the CIMA certification has enhanced my competence, confidence, and credibility."
