Breaking News - IABFM on the Move

June 17, 2015

With our continuing expansion the IABFM is opening new offices in a number of locations, either as standalone offices, or in conjunction with some of our business partners.  Most recently we have relocated our Hong Kong office to the International Commercial Centre (ICC) building in Austin Rd, West Kowloon.  The ICC is the tallest building in Hong Kong with magnificent views over Victoria Harbour.

Demand for our Wealth Management programs in China has led to the opening of an office in Beijing to support our existing office in Shenzhen.  We are located with our partner, the Regal Global Group (RGG), at the Red Show International Club, 4 Guanghua Rd, Chaoyang, Beijing.  This presence will make it easier for us to serve the Beijing market where we have just finalised an arrangement with one of the most prestigious universities in China.  This arrangement allows the university to use some of the content of our Certified Wealth Management Professional and Certified Family Wealth Professional programs as part of their graduate programs.  Graduates of the university may then complete some additional modules to obtain the IABFM qualification(s).  We are also in the process of finalising details of a special accreditation program for 3000 professionals each year which will be announced in the next two weeks.

We have decided to consolidate our US presence in New York given that it is one of the major financial centres in the world.  As from next week we will be operating from our newly established office with our partners RGG.  Our New York office is located at 1330 Avenue of the Americas, Suite 23, New York City NY 10019.  The major initial focus of our activities is in the area of Wealth Management with our award winning Certified Wealth Management Professional and our Certified Family Wealth Professional training programs already creating high demand.

Last, but certainly not least, the IABFM has opened an office at 50 Collins St, Melbourne in Australia to support operations in the Asia Pacific region.  In 2014 we successfully trialled a number of programs in Australia and, on the back of these, have opened the offices to support the Australian manufacturing industry, particularly with our new logistics modelling programs.  Dr Michael Fletcher, the Director of our logistics and supply chain programs, is launching this program next month and it will revolutionise the way that companies manage their supply chain.
