Portfolio as a Value Enabler: How to Make It Real

By IIL Europe Ltd

Portfolio as a Value Enabler: How to Make It Real A portfolio as a value enabler is not easy to achieve. It requires not only good process, practices and the right competencies in place but it also needs a change in the mindset of those involved in managing the portfolio. Quite often, a portfolio is not perceived as a value enabler but a necessary administrative burden. But how it can be perceived differently if it is presented as a collection of projects and programs or a massive Gantt chart? In order to change that perception and turn it into something tangible, portfolio management must apply principles of investment management. With this principle, it can turn into a great vehicle to drive business objectives. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs. Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. Some limitations apply and can be found in the Ways to Earn PDUs section that discusses PDU activities and associated policies. Fractions of PDUs may also be reported. The smallest increment of a PDU that can be reported is 0.25. This means that if you spent 15 minutes participating in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.25 PDU. If you spend 30 minutes in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.50 PDU.

Ethics, Integrity and Fairness in Financial Services

5.0(4)

By LGCA | London Governance and Compliance Academy

Description Given its role and importance to any functioning modern economy, 'trust' is an essential ingredient between providers of financial services, its clients and even wider society. Culture, conduct and ethics are words which have come to pepper the regulatory lexicon. The importance of these intangible concepts and 'getting it right' has been clearly communicated, and myriad speeches and initiatives in the financial services sector focus on these themes. This programme does not purport to dictate how firms should define their values or operate their businesses. However, lawmakers, regulators and society have defined certain minimum expectations and standards of behaviour from the perspective of customer and business outcomes. These are sometimes framed or described (whether explicitly or implicitly) as issues of trust, integrity or honesty; concepts which have a distinct ethical underpin. Firms and individuals operating in the sector must be conscious and mindful of these standards and expectations and consider both whether they are satisfying the letter and spirit of the rules and/or guidance and whether the values and principles which they have set for themselves are effective in directing and delivering the firm's desired outcomes. Training Duration This course may take up to 2 hours to be completed. However, actual study time differs as each learner uses their own training pace. Participants This course is ideal for anyone wishing to know more about Ethics, Integrity and Fairness in Financial Services, and the regulatory requirements for investment firms, insurance and banking institutions. It is also suitable to professionals pursuing regulatory CPD in Financial Regulation (such as the FCA etc). It will be particularly suitable to: • Compliance professionals and consultants • Boards, NEDs and Senior Managers • Risk executives • Directors Training Method The course is offered fully online using a self-paced approach. The learning units consist of video presentations and reading material. Learners may start, stop and resume their training at any time. At the end of each session, participants take a Quiz to complete their learning unit and earn a Certificate of Completion once all quizzes have been passed successfully. Accreditation and CPD Recognition This programme has been developed by the London Governance and Compliance Academy (LGCA), a UK-recognised training institution. The syllabus is verified by external subject matter experts and can be accredited by regulators and other bodies for 2 CPD Units that approve education in financial regulation, such as the FCA and other financial regulators. The course may be also approved for up to 2 CPD Units by institutions that approve general financial training, such as the CISI.

Financial Regulation: The International Regulatory Environment

5.0(4)

By LGCA | London Governance and Compliance Academy

Description A key component to the development of financial markets is to agree standards of behaviour and provide mechanisms for dispute resolution. These standards, rules and codes of conduct may be established through self-regulation of the industry, or by means of a statutory approach where governments provide enabling legislation and establish statutory-based regulatory authorities. Integrity and ethical behaviour are key parts of any code of conduct and have, as a result of the financial crisis, experienced renewed focus from professional bodies, governments and regulators. As financial markets have become increasingly global in nature and interdependence has grown, the financial sector has moved from self-regulation to a statutory approach. This has facilitated international cooperation and the development of improved and common standards. The objectives and benefits of regulation is summarised as follows: • increase in confidence and trust in financial markets, systems and products • establish an environment to encourage economic development and wealth creation • reduce the risk of market and system failures including their economic consequences • enhance consumer protection, giving them the reassurance they need to save and invest, and • reduce financial crime by ensuring financial systems cannot easily be exploited. By attending this course participants will be able to understand the objectives and benefits of regulation and the various agencies that make up the current international and national regulatory environment. Training Duration This course may take up to 2 hours to complete. However, actual study time differs as each learner uses their own training pace. Participants This course is ideal for anyone wishing to know the essentials of financial regulation and the international regulatory environment, and the regulatory requirements for investment firms, insurance and banking institutions. It is also suitable to professionals pursuing regulatory CPD in Financial Regulation (such as the FCA etc). Training Method The course is offered fully online using a self-paced approach.
