Chennai: NSE Academy and Fintso have announced a tie-up for educating, skill-development and training of financial intermediaries.
This is aimed towards equipping them to enhance their offerings, besides certification courses to become registered advisors, said a press release.
The tie-up also involves co-creating content and holding investor education forums for the clients of the intermediaries. This is a critical thrust of NSE Academy, addressing the low financial awareness across the investment community, especially given the rise in savings, and first-time investors.
Vikram Limaye, managing director and CEO of NSE said, “given the low financial awareness of investors, the independent financial intermediaries act as the ‘Bridge of Trust’ for the majority of investors. Reaching out to them, equipping them with knowledge to be better advisors and in turn helping investors make better investment decisions is of paramount importance.”
“One of the main focus areas for us is to have knowledge as the differentiator for our subscribers, which would help them deepen their relationship with their clients, and to be better able to serve their wider needs,” said Rajan Pathak, managing director of Fintso.
