- 2. The CISI CPDSeminars Programme Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is a key aspect of the Institute’s strategy for enabling members to maintain their professional competence. To achieve this, we have constructed a programme of CPD seminars that is one of the widest ranging in the financial services industry. The CISI and the FSA’s Retail Distribution Review (RDR) Under the RDR, the FSA is introducing compulsory CPD for all retail investment advisers to assist in achieving ongoing competence. The FSA requires a minimum of 35 hours’ CPD to be completed, and recorded, on an annual basis. The FSA has confirmed that existing advisers who have passed a recognised transitional qualification will also use structured CPD to top up any gaps identified against the new exam standards. The Institute has identified the gaps for all their transitional qualifications, including the Private Client Investment Advice & Management (PCIAM) qualification, and the full details can be found on cisi.org/rdr The FSA has stated that a minimum of 21 hours of the CPD must be structured learning. Attendance at seminars, such as the ones in this brochure, are activities accepted as part of structured learning. Each Institute seminar normally contributes one hour of CPD. To assist members with the recording of CPD activities as proposed under the RDR, CISI members who attend any Institute CPD seminars have CPD hours automatically added to their personalised CISI CPD log, which also recommends 35 hours on an annual basis. For further details, see page 19 of this programme or contact [email protected] RDR Core Topics The seminars here cover core knowledge areas as outlined in the RDR. For members affected by its implementation, we have identified the following seminars which relate to RDR core topic areas (Investment principles and risk, Taxation, Regulation and Ethics). Please see also cisi.org/rdr for further information.

- 4. FO UND Corporate Finance ER S’ SE RI ES Founders’ series By founding new businesses, entrepreneurs play a very important role in the market and make a significant contribution to the UK economy as a whole. An entrepreneur identifies and responds to opportunities, not necessarily by founding a new start-up, but often by working within an established business to set up a new department, found a joint venture subsidiary or even a network or partnership. Although the financial services industry is well established, it is still refreshing to see innovation, whether in the form of a new business model, product, investment or customer service proposition. In the second seminar in our series examining entrepreneurship in financial services, we talk to Luke Johnson of Risk Capital Partners LLP. CPD Seminar: Founders’ series: Luke Johnson of Risk Capital Partners LLP Date: 23 May 2011 Venue: Willis Ltd, 51 Lime Street, London EC3M 7DQ Investment principles and risk Biography: Luke Johnson co-founded Risk Capital Partners LLP in 2001. Luke studied medicine at Oxford and subsequently joined Kleinwort Benson as an analyst. In 1992 he organised the acquisition of Pizza Express and floated the business on the stock market at 40p per share. He was Chairman of this business until 1999, at which time the share price was over £8 and the business had a market capitalisation of over £500 million. More recently, Luke stepped down as Chairman of Channel 4 in 2010, having held the position for six years. Currently, he writes a weekly column for the Financial Times on entrepreneurship, and is Chairman of the Royal Society of the Arts. Time: 12.00 – 1.30pm (a sandwich lunch will be served from 12.00 – 12.30pm) Chairman: Christopher Jones-Warner, Chartered FCSI, Director, Playing Hamlet Ltd Speaker: Luke Johnson, Chairman, Risk Capital Partners LLP The Institute would like to thank Raymond James Investment Services Ltd, Willis Ltd and Playing Hamlet Ltd for their help in organising this series. 4 8 cisi.org/onlinebooking % +44 (0)20 7645 0680 * [email protected]
- 5. OV AD THE E 20 G V XT D R DI N 20 AL EC N E Investment Management : UE A CPD Seminar: Another BRIC in the wall? The recent revival of the Russian economy and its future prospects DE Date: 9 May 2011 Venue: Willis Ltd, 51 Lime Street, London EC3M 7DQ Investment principles and risk Topic: “An ineffective economy, a semi-Soviet social sphere, a weak democracy, negative demographic trends and an unstable Caucasus. These are very big problems even for a state like Russia” (Dmitry Medvedev, President of Russia, September 2009) President Medvedev was not alone in his withering critique of Russia. Indeed, the country was hit so hard by the financial crisis of 2008, many called for it to be dropped from the BRIC line up. This year however, due mainly to the recent increase in oil prices, Russian equities have substantially outperformed other emerging markets. Indeed, greater oil price stability should encourage investors to look afresh at Russia as a high growth, low debt story linked to the Asian boom. But how sustainable is the current economic rebound, and can it address any of the structural problems already highlighted by the President? This seminar will examine current economic and political developments, before looking at the markets. It will also consider other pressing issues such as corporate governance. In more detail, the event will cover the following: • The Central Bank of Russia, its increasingly independent monetary policy and the outlook for the ruble. • The parliamentary elections in December and the presidential poll next year. • Changes in labour market dynamics and strengthening profitability in domestic manufacturing. • The sectors favoured by investors currently. Time: 12.00 – 2.00pm (a sandwich lunch will be served from 12.00 – 12.30pm) Chairman: Christopher Jones-Warner, Chartered FCSI, Director, Playing Hamlet Ltd Speakers: Svetlana Borodina, Standard & Poor’s GAMMA Larry Brainard, Chief Economist, Trusted Sources Gregor Holek, Fund Manager, Raiffeisen Capital Management This seminar entitles you to one hour and thirty minutes of CPD. 5 8 cisi.org/onlinebooking % +44 (0)20 7645 0680 * [email protected]
- 6. CPD Seminar: Confidence Accounting – fixing a root problem in financial systems Date: 11 May 2011 Venue: Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment, 8 Eastcheap, London EC3M 1AE Investment principles and risk Topic: ‘Confidence Accounting’ is a term for using distributions rather than discrete values in accounting. The term was coined by Long Finance proponents as part of a shift to interval estimates and confidence levels. In a world of Confidence Accounting, the end results of audits would be presentations of distributions for major entries in the profit & loss, balance sheet and cashflow statements. The proposed benefits of Confidence Accounting include a fairer representation of financial results, reduced footnotes, measurable audit quality and a mitigation of mark-to-market perturbations. This seminar intends to explore the proposal while assessing the benefits and costs. Time: 12.00 – 1.30pm (a sandwich lunch will be served from 12.00 – 12.30pm) Chairman: Professor Michael Mainelli, Chartered FCSI, Chairman, Z/Yen Group Ltd Speakers: Ian Harris, Finance Director, Z/Yen Group Ltd Paul Moxey, Head of Corporate Governance and Risk Management, ACCA The Institute would like to thank the Z/Yen Group for organising this event.

- 20. The CISI CPDScheme Explained Financial services practitioners perform CPD activities every working day, often without even realising it. Reading industry publications, attending internal briefings, mentoring new colleagues and attending professional events such as the ones detailed in this programme are all valid forms of CPD. As regulatory interest and focus on the maintenance of professional competence increases, it is not enough simply to undertake these activities on their own; practitioners need to recognise that such activities are CPD, thereby enabling them consciously to extract the learning from them. It is also important to record CPD activities undertaken. During 2011, the CISI will be updating and refreshing its CPD scheme to reflect new developments in the regulation of CPD, as well as best practice. The CISI’s CPD scheme empowers its users to take ownership of their own development. The scheme log, a free, web-based system, allows users to monitor and record their CPD quickly and easily. It even records automatically participation in all CISI CPD activities, such as attendance at professional events, taking examinations and using elearning tools. Members can also record activities undertaken with other professional bodies, CPD providers and firms. CPD Learning Type Min Claimable Hours Max Claimable Hours Active 1 30 Reflective 1 15 Self-directed 1 5 Development of others 1 20 Those using the CISI CPD scheme are required to log 35 hours of activities per annum (in line with the grid above) in order to meet the Institute’s target. Those that succeed receive a formal end-of-year certificate from the CISI, which can be used to prove adherence to Training & Competence (T&C) requirements. Participation on the Institute’s scheme is compulsory for members wishing to become personally Chartered and thereafter to remain Chartered.
