Amundi-Acba Launches Academy to Enhance Financial Literacy and Professional Development

In alignment with our commitment to promoting financial literacy and professional growth in Armenia, Amundi-Acba is excited to announce the launch of the Amundi-Acba Academy, within its CSR policy. This initiative, adapted from the French Amundi Academy, notably best practices from  European countries, aims to provide universities and students with the knowledge and skills necessary  for professional development.

The Amundi-Acba Academy will offer a comprehensive range of educational online training/modules tailored to various audiences interested in finances, particularly in asset management and investment strategies.

Key Features of the Amundi-Acba Academy:

• Four Directions of Learning: The Academy will cover fundamental, as well as topics for experts, provide specialized trainings in CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst), and ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) principles.
• Free Access to Local Students: We are committed to enhance accessibility, and local students will have free access to the courses and the opportunity  to participate in the Academy programs.
• Collaborative Partnerships: Amundi-Acba will sign Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) and partnership agreements with Armenian universities, allowing them to have access to these valuable training modules.
• Localized Research center: In addition to the Academy, Amundi-Acba will localize and release articles in Armenian from the Amundi Investment Institute on a monthly basis, covering topics such as geopolitics, macroeconomics and financial markets. These resources will be available to everyone on our website.

The launch of the Amundi-Acba Academy reflects our mission to empower students and individuals through education and contribute to the overall improvement of the financial ecosystem in Armenia. We believe that informed investors contribute to a more robust and transparent financial landscape.
