People already in post before 1 July 2010
You are exempt from this certification requirement (the ”grandfather” clause). However, all of your new colleagues hired since then date need to be certified, and thus, possess official recognition of their knowledge.
Although AMF certification relates only to people working with financial instruments, all employees of Investment Services Providers (banks, asset managers…) could be benefited by the addition of the AMF Certification in their curriculum to validate their knowledge and experience and even acquire new skills.
