Associate (ASI) membership is aimed at those who have achieved benchmark, or threshold competency qualifications. Roughly 5,000 practitioners from all areas of the securities & investment industry currently use the ASI designation.
Eligibility:
ASI membership may be applied for upon passing a recognised benchmark qualification. Holders of any of the following SII qualifications may apply to become ASIs:
As with all categories of SII membership, ASI members who enrol upon any SII qualification are exempted from Qualification Registration Fee (QRF).
Applying
ASI membership costs £115 annually, renewable every April. There is a £25 processing fee for those that apply using the hard-copy* ASI application form. Alternatively, all those who achieve an SII benchmark qualification are sent an email upon becoming qualified, offering them the opportunity to join as an ASI online. As the online ASI application form is specially pre-filled, the SII does not charge the £25 processing fee to those that apply via this route.
*Please note that for candidates applying based on non-SII qualifications, a copy of the relevant pass certificate is required with the application form.
