Learning objectives Continuing Professional Education 2026 ready
The learning objectives for the Continuing Professional Education program 2026 have been established. This announces the topics on which investment professionals in the financial industry can focus in the coming year.
DSI develops the learning objectives together with the Advisory Committees, in which subject specialists from the field contribute their knowledge and experience. In defining the themes, not only changes in laws and regulations were considered, but also the broader context in which professionals operate. Important building blocks included the dialogue documents Between the Rules (integrity within sustainable finance) and CTRL SHFT (AI in the investment industry), which provide direction for practice-based learning objectives.
Focus areas include:
- Digitization and AI: from algorithms to ethical frameworks for data.
- Sustainability and regulation: impact of new regulations and vigilance against greenwashing.
- Geopolitical events: implications for asset classes.
- Behavioral finance: recognizing behavioral biases in customers.
- Integrity and supervision: compliance with ESMA guidelines and strengthening professional competence.
All accredited educators recently received the learning objectives so that their programs can be updated in a timely manner. The final learning objectives can be found at the link below. This keeps the PE program a dynamic tool that moves with current events, without losing sight of the foundation of professionalism and integrity.
