SET, in collaboration with IAA, held the "CISA Certificate Awarding Ceremony 2026" on March 13, 2026, to honor and congratulate the 208 individuals who passed the Certified Investment and Securities Analyst (CISA) test program in 2025. CISA Achievement Award was also presented to Nasis Prasertsakun, a professional with proven track record and contributions to the Thai capital market.
IAA Secretary-General Sombat Narawutthichai stated that it is widely recognized that AI technology can process data extremely fast. From another angle, this can increase risk for investors. The role of investment analysis professionals is therefore critical. IAA therefore focuses on elevating the CISA program to meet international standards, developing and cultivating personnel with knowledge, systematic thinking processes, and strong professional ethics. Earning the CISA designation is considered a testament of the potential to analyze data and provide responsible advice, elevating the profession and building confidence in the capital market.
For over 20 years, SET and IAA have jointly upheld the standards of the CISA program and qualifications with rigor. Currently, over 3,590 professionals have passed the test. These professionals play a vital role in driving leading financial institutions and business organizations towards growth. Furthermore, the program is also expanding into the education sector by integrating the content into university curricula to continuously develop high-quality new generation personnel for the Thai capital market.
