The Expanding CIPM Body of Knowledge

On next Friday (June 25th at 9:00 a.m. Pacific time), I will be hosting a webinar covering the changes (really, the additions) that have occurred to the Certificate in Investment Performance Measurement (CIPM) program since the first examination window.

As Dave Spaulding mentioned on his blog (Investment Performance Guy) today, Dave and I were "pioneers" as we were part of the first group to enroll for the exams and earn the certification. Back in 2004, The Spaulding Group and the Performance Measurement Forum formed a Blue Ribbon Committee that kicked off the process of developing a certification program for performance professionals. We have offered our training classes since the initial enrollment periods for the CIPM (then called CGIPS) exams. It has been very gratifying to teach our CIPM classes and see our students succeed with a significantly higher pass rate than the general population.

This particular webinar is actually targeted at CIPM certificants. As we learn at the Principles Level, the Body of Knowledge that is required to do our work well and serve our clients is constantly evolving. Also, certificants are required to update their body of knowledge by meeting a Mandatory Continuing Education requirement (MCE). We are offering the webinar to help certificants satisfy their MCD requirements.
