Benefits of The Event:

In this modern business world, as organizations become more and more competitive, our roles require that we have knowledge of many aspects of finance. Asset Management is the active and strategic pursuit of an owner's long term social, physical and financial goals from pre-development through the administration and disposition of a property or portfolio.

Due to rapidly growing globalization, a significant increase in the level of activity in both the domestic and international financial markets can be observed. Financial transactions worth trillions of dollars are being carried out on the stock markets every day. At the same time, price fluctuations and the multitude of financial innovations testify to the dynamic character of today’s markets. Changing social and demographic conditions are resulting in a growing demand for customized and comprehensive asset management. Consequently, banks, insurance companies, and investment fund companies are showing an immediate demand for highly qualified financial analysts, asset and fund managers, and client or investment advisors, who, in addition to a degree in the appropriate field, also have a personality profile which is suitable for this sensitive area of financial management.

 

To compete effectively, regional banks and financial institutions need account executives with the professional grounding to cultivate relationships equivalent to those offered by international banks. AAFM is proud to present the American Academy Of Financial Management’s Chartered Asset Manger™ (CAM™) Professional Development Program. This intensive accredited certification program provides you with the opportunity to learn how to successfully manage assets through a core group of specialty graduate topics. This highly intensive course has been specially developed for those that are new to the profession of asset management or those that are not usually involved in asset management on a day-to-day basis, but require knowledge of it for a better understanding to achieve success for their organization.

 

Without being bogged down by confusing academic detail, the course will focus on understanding the basic principles, concepts and techniques, so that they can be used in all industries and organizations.
