The Institute of Financial Services (Ifs) is developing a new stand-alone qualification in commercial mortgages. the Certificate in Commercial Mortgages (CeCM).
The Certificate in Commercial Mortgages (CeCM) is being developed in partnership with the National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers (NACFB) and was announced at their annual general meeting last week.
Keith Heron, chief executive of the NACFB, says the Ifs’s Certificate in Commercial Mortgages will provide an excellent grounding for intermediaries wanting to give advice on commercial mortgage products.
He says the NACFB will be promoting the qualification to its members adding as a further incentive: “Brokers who pass the examination will be eligible for a discount on full or associate NACFB membership.”
The single-module qualification will open for registrations this week with learning materials expected to roll out in March 2006.

This demand for absolute performance contrasts with traditional managed funds which often aim to outperform a peer group or index. A traditional managed fund could deliver outstanding performance in relation to the other funds in its sector or peer group but still generate a capital loss for investors.

With the debate surrounding funding long term care in the run up to the last general election, few areas have been as topical or well publicized.
