The Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI) is a professional body for members of the financial and investment profession. It offers qualifications and resources for professional development, as well as setting standards of conduct and ethics for those in the industry.
History
[edit]The CISI was formed in 1992 as the Securities Institute by the members of the London Stock Exchange. It changed its name to the Securities and Investment Institute in November 2004 and then the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment when it was granted a Royal Charter in October 2009. In November 2015, the Institute of Financial Planning merged with the CISI. In 2017, CISI, the Chartered Insurance Institute and the Chartered Institute of Bankers in Scotland formed the Chartered Body Alliance.
It is headquartered in London and has offices in Sri Lanka, India, United Arab Emirates, Ireland, and Kenya.[1]
