The program of study develops the ethical framework and analytical skills to interpret the economic and behavioral landscape, evaluate the benefits and risks of derivatives and alternative investments on asset allocation, and manage investment portfolios for high net worth and institutional clients.  In developing these competencies, the Professional Portfolio Management certificate incorporates the Level III curriculum of the Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA) Program administered by CFA Institute, where NJCU is an affiliated university. Students are encouraged to pursue the globally recognized CFA credential along with their certificate.
