CFA Society Singapore and CFA Institute celebrated a major milestone — the approval of the CFA Program Level I as an accredited programme under the Institute of Banking and Finance Singapore’s Standards Training Scheme (IBF-STS). This makes the CFA Program Level I one of the pioneer programmes in Asia Pacific to be recognised under a national industry skills framework with funding support — reinforcing its role in developing future-ready finance professionals.
CFA Society Singapore partnered with CFA Institute for the inaugural Singapore Inclusion Summit, held on 24 November 2025 and supported by GIC. The Summit convened finance leaders from across APAC to explore the theme “Inclusion as a Driver of Collective Intelligence” and underscore the role of inclusive workplaces in strengthening innovation, decision-making, and organisational resilience. The session featured Senior Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office and Deputy Secretary-General of NTUC, Mr. Desmond Tan, as keynote speaker, as well as two panel discussions by industry experts.
On 30 October 2024, CFA Society Singapore launched the Singapore edition of the CFA Institute Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Code. The launch marks the first release of the voluntary code in Asia, offering financial services organisations across Singapore, regardless of size, an action-oriented framework for developing impactful and measurable strategies to enable better people management. In September 2025, the Code was renamed to the CFA Institute Inclusion Code.
The Society hosted its annual marquee Investment Gala Dinner 2025 on 29 July 2025 with the theme “Artificial Intelligence for a Sustainable Future”. The event was attended by more than 200 guests from the finance industry, valued partners of CFA Society Singapore, and Society members.
