The last year has been a diffi cult one for our
profession – the onset of the credit crisis coinciding with the
beginning of our fi nancial year last July – but the last 12 months have
seen the society make good progress in serving existing members and
growing its membership.
The society’s mission is to lead and promote the development of the
investment profession in the UK through the promotion of the highest
standards of ethical behaviour and the provision of education,
professional development, information, career support and advocacy
on behalf of its members.
Careers support services have always been a priority for members,
but are now more important than ever. During the last year, the
society’s career services have been extended on the advice of the
Careers Committee chaired by Rasik Ahuja, CFA. The online careers
service is now being consistently supplemented with careers events and
