The two-day CIPM Preparation class will provide you with a solid foundation for your formal study for the CIPM exam. It will also help you identify any areas in your performance background that might need reinforcement. The earlier you commit yourself, the greater your probability of success!

In 2003, The Spaulding Group formed a "blue ribbon committee" to develop a formal certification program for investment performance professionals. In 2004, after learning of the CFA Institute's plan to offer a similar program, we transferred our work product to them. In addition, several of our committee members have become members of the CGIPS development team. We are proud to hav ebeen instrumental in raising the consciousness and importance for this program and congratulate the CFA institue on moving forward with it. we are pleased to continue our support by offering training and guidance to those who wish to become CIPM certified.

The CIPM certification is a major professional milestone and, as such, demands a high level of commitment from you when you prepare to take the exam. Our live, interactive sessions deliver the practical knowledge necessary for you to successfully master this subject matter. Our classes cover the following topics which will be included in the CIPM exam:

• Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct
• Essentials of the GIPS Standards
• Fundamentals of Calculating and Analyzing Returns
• Attribution
• Risk
• Rates of Return

With over 1,000 students trained by The Spaulding Group in the field of performance, we have a proven track record of success. We recommend that you be properly prepared for this exam. No matter how long you have been in the industry, everyone has at least one area where they are not quite as strong as they would like to be. Plus, the review and interaction we offer will be enjoyable as well as educational. We offer an opportunity to help bring an element of expertise to all topics covered by this important measure of industry knowledge.
