Investment management is an upcoming profession. This is evidenced by the following:
- The public understanding of its practice and codes are still growing.
- There is a lack of recognition by the regulators and the employers, which prevents the establishment of a profession in investment management.
- Not all participants in the investment management are professionals since the participants have not engaged in specified training or are members of any recognized authority. This makes it hard for investment management to gain trust.
However, some critical elements of investment management have developed over the years. Investment management, just like any other profession, meets a large proportion of the profession’s expectations. Moreover, in most of the countries, some form of certification has been established, with no requirements to join a professional body. The investment management profession is trying to move with time. That is, it tries to cope with ever-changing demands.
Investment management is becoming global due to the increased opening of the capital markets internationally. Therefore, investment managers can offer their services in different countries or freely moving within the offices of multinational asset management firms. Several established bodies, such as actuarial societies, have investment management professionals as members.
Building Trust in Investment Management
The investment management profession has established itself to the level of other professions such as law and medicine, such that it is trusted to draw knowledge and utilize it with care and judgment. To maintain this trust, professionals should possess technical and financial expertise and understand the laws and regulations.
Investment management professionals should describe to the clients the charges, uncertainties, and conflicts that may arise in providing their investment services.
Investment management professionals should always adhere to codes of ethics and professional standards while their practices should be guided by care, transparency, and integrity.

Excelente para el FRM 2
Escribo esta revisión en español para los hispanohablantes, soy de Bolivia, y utilicé
AnalystPrep para dudas y consultas sobre mi preparación para el FRM nivel 2 (lo tomé una sola vez y aprobé muy bien), siempre tuve un soporte claro, directo y rápido, el material sale rápido cuando hay cambios en el temario de GARP, y los ejercicios y exámenes son muy útiles para practicar.

So helpful. I have been using the videos to prepare for the CFA Level II exam. The videos signpost the reading contents, explain the concepts and provide additional context for specific concepts.
The fun light-hearted analogies are also a welcome break to some very dry content.
I usually watch the videos before going into more in-depth reading and they are a good way to avoid being overwhelmed by the sheer volume of content when you look at the readings.

A great curriculum provider. James sir explains the concept so well that rather than memorising it, you tend to intuitively understand and absorb them.
Thank you ! Grateful I saw this at the right time for my CFA prep.

I have finished my FRM1 thanks to AnalystPrep. And now using AnalystPrep for my FRM2 preparation. Professor Forjan is brilliant. He gives such good explanations and analogies. And more than anything makes learning fun. A big thank you to Analystprep and Professor Forjan. 5 stars all the way!

Professor James' videos are excellent for understanding the underlying theories behind financial engineering / financial analysis. The AnalystPrep videos were better than any of the others that I searched through on YouTube for providing a clear explanation of some concepts, such as Portfolio theory, CAPM, and Arbitrage Pricing theory. Watching these cleared up many of the unclarities I had in my head. Highly recommended.
