Currently held by over 15,000 professionals, the IMC is the investments industry’s entry level benchmark qualification for the investment professions.
IMC candidates come from a diverse background and the IMC is generally considered appropriate for anyone entering an investment-related role. The IMC also provides the ideal foundation for those with future plans for the CFA® Program, as IMC candidates cover some 30% of the CFA Level I curriculum.
