The CAIA Association wishes to support your efforts to obtain a Statement of Professional Standing (SPS) from CFA UK. CFA UK is one of eight FSA Accredited Bodies able to provide SPS. Beginning January 1, SPS is required for CAIA UK members who advise retail clients on or deal in securities.
Prior to issuance of SPS, CFA UK requires the following:
Hold the correct RDR-approved qualifications including evidence of your successful completion of CAIA Level I as well as IMC Units 1 and 2 (Level 4) or IMC Unit 1 (Level 4) and appropriate gapfill.
Adhere to the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct and remain ‘in good standing’ as a practitioner.
Maintain an active membership in CFA UK.
Maintain an active CF30 registration with the FSA.
For SPS valid throughout 2014, complete the required number of CPD hours by October 31, 2013. CAIA members are not required to provide evidence of logged CPD to receive SPS valid for 2013. For more information, please click here.
Once your completed online application is received by CFA UK, it may take up to one month for the SPS certificate to be issued. To apply for SPS, please click here.
