TimesPro, New York Institute of Finance collaborate to launch Professional Certificate in Wealth Management
New Delhi: TimesPro, a Higher EdTech leader and the prestigious New York Institute of Finance (NYIF) have strategically collaborated to launch the Professional Certificate in Wealth Management to equip the next generation of financial advisors with specialised expertise, offering cutting-edge learning modules guided by highly renowned academicians and industry experts. Wealth management has become increasingly vital in today’s complex financial landscape, with individuals and families seeking expert guidance to navigate their financial goals and secure their financial future. The TimesPro and NYIF collaboration aims to address this growing demand for skilled wealth managers by offering a comprehensive curriculum designed to equip learners with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in this dynamic industry.
The three-month Professional Certificate in Wealth Management is contextually designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of wealth management practices and enable working professionals in the field of BFSI, more specifically, Wealth Management to meet their career objectives. They will learn a plethora of financial modules like Wealth Accumulation, Preservation, Distribution, Hedge Funds Commodity and Energy Markets, Relationship Management, etc. within the context of the Indian and global financial framework while cultivating skills to foster client relationships.
According to reports, wealth management firms are accelerating hiring across India amidst a surge in high-net-worth individuals in the country spanning across Tier II & III regions. Capgemini’s World Wealth Report 2022 indicated that in 2021 the top Asia Pacific contributors to the ultra-HNWI population were India and Taiwan. The demand for money managers has increased due to an upbeat private equity and venture capital investment trend and the emergence of a new breed of millionaires who require customised wealth management planning. A UBS Global study reported women investors are highly unsatisfied with current financial advice and planning, and research indicated that wealth management firms should go beyond their rigid sphere and look to wealth management models inclusive of IQ & EQ.
Speaking about the launch, Anish Srikrishna, CEO, TimesPro said, “TimesPro’s collaboration with the New York Institute of Finance for the Professional Certificate in Wealth Management represents a paradigm shift in financial advisory education. This transformative approach will not only empower advisors with specialised skills but also elevate their ability to cultivate strong client relationships and offer comprehensive financial solutions that align with client goals and aspirations.”
