CHFP™ Chartered Fintech Professional

• Course Overview

  The program concentrates on the practical application of financial and capital markets theory, investment and portfolio management and principles at the operational level within the financial services organization, thus providing momentum for continuing professional and personal development. The entrepreneurial start-up community is aggressively developing new “Fintech” applications which are dramatically changing the way financial services and products are delivered, especially to Millennials. There are now more than 200 Fintech companies valued at over $1 billion each, the so-called “Unicorns,” and global investors pour tens of billions of dollars more into new start-ups each year. There are stories about new financial applications in the press every day. Some commentators foresee a revolution in finance, where there will be no need for brick and mortar branches, investment counsellors, or even physical money itself. The reality is likely to be a more gradual adoption and integration of innovative technology and mobile applications into the existing financial system. The big financial institutions are not going to go away. They will adopt new technology in three different ways: by partnering with start-ups, by acquiring some of them and also by internal development. This is not to say that there will not be successful, enduring disruptive start-ups. After all, two of the pioneering disruptive Fintech companies are PayPal, which disrupted the payments system, and ICE, which disrupted exchange markets. But the vision of start-ups turning big financial institutions into zombie shells is not credible This program will provide delegates with exposure to new Fintech services within a critical context and framework analyzing traditional money, banking and financial markets combined with interdisciplinary contents.
