THE SOCIETY OF
CERTIFIED INVESTMENT BANKERS

The Society of Certified Investment Bankers (SCIB), an affiliate of the ICFAI University was established in 1999 with the objective of developing a new cadre of investment banking professionals through a world-class certification program  and rigorous membership standards.

The entry of global investment banks into India has brought about the much needed professionalization in the crucial investment banking sector. Apart from tapping domestic markets, Indian corporates are increasingly accessing the global markets. This has widened the business avenues of the investment bankers by providing services like loan syndication, advisory services and managing mandates for offerings of ADRs, GDRs, IPOs in India and abroad, etc.

Objectives

The objectives of SCIB include :

  • To develop and regulate the growth of the profession of investment banking on sound ethical lines through rigorous standards for membership, certification, professional practice, continuing education and other means.
  • To organize seminars, workshops and training programs in capital markets, mergers and acquisitions, valuations, corporate finance, securitization and allied areas for the benefit of the members, students, teachers, executives and others.
  • To organize research, directly and through sponsorship, into capital markets, mergers and acquisitions, valuations, corporate finance, securitization and allied areas.
  • To publish books, magazines, journals, articles, monographs, reports on topics of interest to members and students
  • To develop a Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Practice for the members and ensure compliance.
  • To develop and maintain inter-institutional relationship with other professional, educational and research organizations for the benefit of members of the society.
