What is a CIMA®?
The Certified Investment Management Analyst (CIMA®) designation is one of the most respected credentials in the financial services industry, focused specifically on investment management and portfolio construction.
Issued by the Investments & Wealth Institute, the CIMA® certification is designed for professionals who provide advanced investment advice and portfolio strategy.

Portfolio construction and asset allocation

A more disciplined, research-driven investment strategy
Better alignment between your goals and your portfolio
Improved risk management during market volatility
A long-term approach designed to reduce emotional decision-making
