The Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI) is a global professional body for those who work in the financial and investment profession. It aims to set standards of conduct and ethics for participants in the securities, financial planning and investments sector, and to provide qualifications and professional development for such financial services practitioners.

History

The CISI was formed in 1992 as the Securities Institute by the members of the London Stock Exchange. It changed its name to the Securities and Investment Institute in November 2004. It became the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment when it was granted a Royal Charter in October 2009. In November 2015 the Institute of Financial Planning was formally merged into the CISI. In 2017, CISI, the Chartered Insurance Institute and the Chartered Institute of Bankers in Scotland formed the Chartered Body Alliance.
