1.1 About NISM

Introduction to NISM and SSE

In his budget speech of February 2005, the Honourable Union Finance Minister announced that the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) would establish an institute to undertake securities market education and research. In pursuance of this mandate, SEBI established the National Institute of Securities Markets (NISM) in Mumbai as a public trust under the Bombay Public Trust Act, 1950. The activities at NISM are carried out through its Six Schools of Excellence. These include: 1. School for Investor Education and Financial Literacy (SIEFL) 2. School for Certification of Intermediaries (SCI) 3. School for Securities Information and Research (SSIR) 4. School for Regulatory Studies and Supervision (SRSS) 5. School for Corporate Governance (SCG) 6. School for Securities Education (SSE) The mission for NISM is to add to market quality through educational and research initiatives that would support, enable and expedite an entire gamut of high quality knowledge services in the securities industry. A market for securities education and research is gradually emerging in India and abroad, partly due to the buoyancy in the securities industry and partly because of the regulatory efforts to create minimum competency levels for securities industry professionals. NISM intends to play a catalytic role in addressing these needs. Given the uniqueness of India and other emerging/ developing markets, such intervention would follow the twin approaches of accessing/disseminating the relevant existing knowledge and creating new knowledge that is more specific and appropriate for emerging markets. With no other institute in the Asian


region that seeks to address as wide a canvas, NISM stands uniquely poised to become an institution that would not only serve the securities markets in India but could also assume a pan-Asian purpose.

1.2 About SSE

NISM articulates and implements its mission of improving market quality through its six schools of excellence, each having a specific domain presence within the securities markets. The role of the School for Securities Education (SSE) is to provide education for preparing competent professionals who will serve the securities markets in capacity building. The last few years have seen a demand for securities professionals who are equipped with a wider repertoire of knowledge and skills. This demand has been spurred by the challenges posed by the growing Indian economy and the expanding securities market. With the Indian economy growing consistently at over 6%, many Indian companies are scaling up their activities in India and abroad. This has necessitated a greater need for corporations to access the securities markets. The overall economic growth has also witnessed many Indian corporations seeking to attract domestic and foreign investments through listings in India and overseas. As the Indian economy grows and as Indian investors seek to participate more in the capital markets, the Indian stock exchanges, mutual funds, merchant bankers, analysts and stock brokers would play an even more vital role in meeting the enhanced expectations of various stakeholders. With its proximity to policy makers and professionals in the securities markets community, SSE is uniquely positioned to provide educational programmes that will create the new age securities markets professional.

IT & ITES, KPO firms engaged in Analytics, Quantitative Research and Business Solutions

2.3 What does CFERM offer?

The level of sophistication and complexity of the subject merits a classroom-based programme. Through the CFERM programme, NISM aims to provide the financial markets with a cadre of professionals well-versed in skills as well as knowledge of financial engineering and risk management. The CFERM programme offers: Approximately 300 hours of classroom sessions A team of highly qualified and experienced faculty members delivering the modules A combination of theory and practice (two modules: Basic and Advanced) A combination of mathematics, statistics, financial economics, computational finance, financial modelling and risk management Experienced industry professionals sharing their knowledge with participants Continuous evaluation that motivates participants to deliver their best Multiple pedagogy consisting of interactive classroom sessions, simulations, case discussions, project work, and seminars The latest developments in the field brought into the classroom A peer group of students with whom one can interact and learn by sharing experiences

2.2 Why should organizations encourage CFERM?

In the modern world, organizations seek to effectively utilize financial resources to meet business requirements. Financial engineering offers customized financial solutions towards this. Further, risk management in organizations has become a core strategic function today. Therefore, it has become necessary that an organization has a team of financial engineering and risk management professionals to discharge, oversee and guide this pivotal responsibility. CFERM offers an in-depth understanding from the point of view of sellers, buyers, analysts and regulators as opposed to the current black-box approach. The CFERM programme will result in a win-win situation for professionals engaged in treasury and risk management functions and their employers in: Banks PMS Mutual Funds Insurance Companies Pension Funds Private Equity Companies Hedge Funds Investment Banks Stock Broking firms Firms that trade in Commodities, Currencies and other Instruments Credit Rating Agencies Securities Research firms
