The Master in Finance at the University of Murcia has been recognized by the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) to prove that the staff with this qualification has the appropriate qualification to provide investment advice.
This recognition joins the one that already has the master's degree in Audit of Accounts.
Both acknowledgments highlight the commitment to employability in positions of high added value for students who take master's degrees in the Faculty of Economics and Business at the UMU.
In January of this year, the new regulatory framework on markets and financial instruments began, which expressly establishes the obligation for staff providing financial advice to have the necessary knowledge and skills, and provides that member states publish the criteria used to evaluate them.
Therefore, following the guidelines set by the European Securities Market Authority (ESMA), the CNMV establishes the criteria that are considered appropriate for entities to demonstrate that the staff that advises or advises on investment services possesses the knowledge and skills necessary.
The objective is for investors to understand the risks of the products in which they invest, something that must be guaranteed by the entities that provide investment services.
Although having adequate knowledge on the part of the informant or adviser is not a guarantee of an adequate provision of the service, it is an essential requirement for this.
