Manage money like the pros who run portfolios
The Chartered Portfolio Manager® trains you to make investment decisions the way professionals do — strategic asset allocation, security analysis, risk management and performance evaluation across every asset class.
India's investing wave needs real portfolio skill
SIPs, PMS and a surge of new investors mean firms need people who can actually build and manage portfolios — not just sell products. CPM® gives you the decision-making framework top employers look for.
A professional portfolio manager's toolkit
The Chartered Portfolio Manager® is a career-advancement program that teaches you how experts make investment decisions — and trains you to think like a professional portfolio manager.
Across 5 modules and 10 units you'll cover all asset classes, security analysis, advanced financial modelling, economic forecasting and advanced portfolio-management techniques — the exact skills top firms seek.
