The Korea Financial Investment Association's Financial Investment Education Institute said Wednesday that it would launch four training programs covering overseas investment, asset management and compliance monitoring, among other areas, to strengthen the practical skills of financial investment industry workers.
The first, called "Global Investment Insight (NY)," will run in New York from Nov. 1 to Nov. 8. Participants will visit NASDAQ, Jane Street, SIG and Direxion to learn about the macroeconomic structure of the US market, the AI ecosystem, the quant and derivatives markets, and ETF product design. Applications will be accepted until Sept. 23.
A separate course on overseas real estate investment practices will also be offered. The program will use case studies to teach the structures, procedures, regulations, tax rules and investment strategies involved in overseas real estate investment. The course will run from Nov. 17 to Nov. 19, with applications accepted until Oct. 7.
The "Asset Management Company New Employee (Weekday)" course will cover foundational knowledge needed for asset management work, including fund basics and practices, marketing, and tax accounting. It is designed for new hires at asset management companies and related financial institutions. The course will run from Nov. 9 to Nov. 12, with applications due by Oct. 2.
A training program to develop compliance officers for private equity firms has also been arranged.

The eight-day course will run from Nov. 9 to Nov. 25, and applications will be accepted until Sept. 30.
Details on each course and how to apply can be found on the Financial Investment Education Institute's website.
