One year’s free student membership of the CISI will also be provided to all HELP students who enrol for CISI exams and complementary membership, at the appropriate level, to HELP academics.
The CISI has been working in the Asia Pacific region for 10 years and has its regional office in Singapore. The Institute has 40,000 members worldwide and is the professional body which sets examinations and offers qualifications for those working, or looking to establish a career in, the wealth management and capital markets industry. The CISI has over 100 Corporate Supporters and is delighted that two of them, HSBC and Maybank, were represented at the signing ceremony.
The CISI is active in many jurisdictions across the region including Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines. In all of these countries CISI works closely with local regulators, corporate clients and members.
