The 2015 Certified Investment Management Analyst Body of Knowledge will help any financial advisor prepare for and pass the CIMA exam, and includes key information and preparation for those preparing to take the test.

CIMA professionals integrate a complex body of investment knowledge, ethically contributing to prudent investment decisions by providing objective advice and guidance to individual and institutional investors.
