The certification provided by GFR® validates competencies acquired in the field of risk management for investment funds. The certification targets all participants in the fund industry, whether or not they are directly involved with risk management.
The GFR certification program is based on the book Risk Management for Investment Funds (2023) by L. Neuberg, F. Petit, M. Vogt and P. Kleinbart. The book ensures compliance with regulatory requirements and facilitates the implementation of risk management systems that add value to the investment process. The first four parts of the book form the foundation of the GFR certification program:
