Certified Investment Management Analyst® professionals are dedicated to elevating their practice through education, experience, examination and the highest standards of ethics. CIMA® professionals have the advanced investment management knowledge necessary to fully serve affluent clients, and they use that in-depth knowledge to analyze and select the investments that make the most sense for your circumstances.
