Hedge School of Applied Economics (HSAE), the educational venture of the Hedge Group of Companies, has launched the internationally-acclaimed Chartered Wealth Manager (CWM) certification course for the first time in Kerala.
CWM, one of the highest professional certifications in wealth management, is offered by the American Academy of Financial Management (AAFM) and is recognised in over 151 countries.
The inaugural function was attended by Deepak Jain, Country Head — India and South Asia, AAFM; Indu Nair, Group Director, SCMS Group of Institutions; Alex K Babu, Group CMD, Hedge; Bhuvanendran Nair, CEO, Hedge Equities; Vinay Sasidharan, COO, Hedge Group, and Benil Dani Alexander, MD, HSAE. Alex K Babu emphasised on the need for students to streamline and attain mastery in their chosen field rather than trying to become jack of all trades. He stressed the importance of creating financial doctors for the financial services industry to prepare tailor-made solutions for the highly specific needs of clients.
Kiran Riyaz, AVP, Hedge Wealth Management Services, the youngest candidate from Kerala to clear the CWM certification, was honoured by the company for her outstanding performance. Hedge also honoured student representatives from various educational institutions as Yuva Ambassadors, who will be the torch bearers of their concept of financial freedom, at the event.
