Royal Charter
On 9 October 2009, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth signed the Charter, formally creating the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI).
This was a significant milestone in the history of the Institute, as we joined the ranks of professional bodies such as accountants, lawyers and bankers.
Sir Alan Yarrow, Chartered FCSI(Hon), Past Chair of the CISI, said: “It is very pleasing that the CISI, which has built an enviable reputation for professionalism in the sector, has had its position as a pre-eminent professional body endorsed by the award of a Royal Charter. I would like to thank all of our members and corporate members for their commitment to high standards in qualifications, continuing professional development and the promotion of integrity and ethics: the foundation stones of our application to the Privy Council.”
