UK Society of Investment Professionals - CFA Institute

About Us

Investment is a profession, not just a business. It involves clear fiduciary responsibilities and a duty of care to clients which is not true of the generality of business relationships. As with any other profession, a recognised professional body is a fundamental requirement for maintaining standards. The CFA Society of the UK is that body.

CFA UK supports over 7000 members, who help govern the society.

Mission Statement

“To lead and promote the development of the investment profession in the UK through the promotion of the highest standards of ethical behaviour and the provision of education, professional development, information, career support and advocacy on behalf of its members. ”


History

CFA UK was created on 30 November 2007 following extensive research with its membership. Formerly the Society was known as UKSIP which came about from the merger of two bodies, the Institute of Investment Management and Research, which was formed in 1955 as the Society of Investment Analysts, and the London Society of Investment Professionals, which was established in 1996. CFA UK is one of the largest member societies of the CFA Institute.
