История CIIAПравить
Квалификация CIIA учреждена международной ассоциацией ACIIA (Association of Certified International Investment Analysts) и реализуется ею в странах Европы, Азии, Африки и Латинской Америки, через своих уполномоченных членов — национальные ассоциации аналитиков и финансистов.
ACIIA как глобальное сообщество аналитиков, была основана в Швейцарии по инициативе двух крупнейших профессиональных федераций Европы (EFFAS) и Азии (ASIF). Построенная по принципу многоуровневой зонтичной структуры, на сегодняшний день ACIIA объединяет более 60 000 инвестиционных аналитиков и финансистов из 35 стран мира, представленных в лице EFFAS и ASIF, а также в лице национальных ассоциаций.
