The Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) has joined forces with two other leading professional bodies to raise the level of professionalism and public trust in the financial services sector.
 
The CII, the Chartered Institute for Securities and Investment and the Chartered Banker Institute have launched the Chartered Body Alliance to help consumers recognise the benefits of engaging with qualified sector professionals.
 
Bringing together almost 200,000 professionals belonging to the three bodies, the Alliance aims to improve professionalism and promote high standards in the different areas of financial services, including wealth management, insurance, financial planning, banking and capital market activities.

The Alliance members have published the “Chartered Body Commitment”, stating how they will work together to achieve the goals of the new group. Under a common brand, they will implement various initiatives such as jointly promoting the importance of professional status, hosting joint events, and responding with a united voice to sector consultations that affect all three professional bodies.
 
“This alliance is all about inspiring public confidence and trust in professional standards, fitting perfectly with the CII’s recently launched Strategic Manifesto,” said CII chief executive Sian Fisher.
 
She went on to say: “I am looking forward to working with other Chartered professional bodies, as well as with our combined network of members, to develop a united voice for promoting professionalism and improving public trust and confidence in the financial services sector.”
