Capital Market Director Programme (CMDP)

The Capital Market Director Programme (CMDP) is an exclusive platform for boards of directors and senior leaders of licensed intermediary institutions to equip themselves with the knowledge, skills and expertise to influence and eventually contribute to the pursuit of excellence in corporate governance.

The programme is also designed to allow them to explore and deliberate on pertinent issues affecting the industry from multi-stakeholders’ perspectives.

Introduced in May 2015, the programme is compulsory for all directors of Capital Markets Services Licence (CMSL) holders for dealing in securities, derivatives and fund management in relation to portfolio management.

The programme comprises five modules and was designed with valuable inputs and feedback from various industry engagements such as focus group discussions and closed consultation papers.
