Riyadh Institute of Finance's wealth management program gains accreditation

Dubai-based Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI) recently announced it has accredited the Riyadh Institute of Finance, a focused-training school in Saudi Arabia that provides training for students to earn CISI's Wealth and Investment Management Certificate.

Those who earn the international certificate are prepared to provide high-quality advice to firms through their understanding of a variety of assets and investment products. The skills covered in the certification program are regularly updated.

"We are very pleased to be working with the RIF, which has demonstrated excellent capability and expertise to offer the CISI’s world class accreditations to financial professionals," Matthew Cowan, regional director of CISI Middle East, said.

RIF Executive Director Majid Dajani agreed.

“RIF is delighted to be the accredited trainer partner for CISI in the Kingdom," he said. "We believe a course such as the wealth management and investment certificate is crucial in helping younger Saudi professionals to gain skills which will enable them to pursue a career in the securities and investment industry and contribute to the Kingdom’s economy.”

CISI's Middle East location is headquartered in Dubai and has been in operation since 2007.
