Chicago Oakbrook Financial Group congratulates our very own Frank Kautzky for recently earning his Certified Investment Management Analyst® certificate (CIMA®).

Kautzky has been working rigorously toward this goal over the past year.

The CIMA certification identifies individuals who have met extensive experience and ethical requirements and successfully completed graduate level investment management consulting coursework provided through one of three top-20 business schools in the United States.

Kautzky chose to complete the Investment Management Theory & Practice program from the Yale School of Management.

CIMA professionals must also pass a certification exam covering a wide range of in-depth investment topics. Additionally, those who earn the certification must agree to meet ongoing continuing education requirements and adhere to the Institute's Code of Professional Responsibility.
