Industry Alert:
Many hedge funds and registered investment advisers (RIAs) that advise a registered investment company (or registered fund) now must pass the NFA Series 3 Exam and register with the National Futures Association (NFA) to conduct futures business. Alternative currently registered professionals in the U.K or Canada may fulfill the requirement by passing the Series 32 exam instead.
To help firms meet requirements that include passing the NFA Series 3 and 32 exams, the IFM offers authoritative self-study exam preparation materials, as well courses in major financial centers and VIP private tutoring sessions at your own office.
