The CIMA designation reflects completion and adherence to the “four E’s”: experience, education, examination and ethics.

Every investment consultant who has earned the CIMA designation has at least three years of broad experience in the field of investment management consulting, has passed an extensive background check, and has completed the demanding educational program. Successful completion of a comprehensive examination is the final step in receiving the designation. To maintain their designation, CIMA professionals must continually adhere to a rigorous code of professional responsibility and complete 40 hours of continuing education every two years.

What does this rigorous designation mean to you? It means that when you work with an investment consultant who has earned the CIMA designation, you’re working with someone who is the best in the field—and will remain the best.
