Enrollment Now Open for 2026 Certified Portfolio Manager® Program at ACPM
The Academy of Certified Portfolio Managers (ACPM®) has officially commenced enrollment for its 2026 Certified Portfolio Manager® (CPM®) program, a prestigious professional designation aimed at discretionary portfolio managers, investment advisors, and institutional investment experts.
Set to start on March 6, 2026, the CPM® program combines rigorous online coursework with a three-day, in-person residency at the University of Denver's Daniels College of Business in September 2026. This structure is designed to enhance understanding of advanced portfolio construction and risk management techniques through both online modules and collaborative on-campus sessions.
The CPM® program is distinguished by its comprehensive focus on applied portfolio management, risk oversight, fiduciary responsibility, and peer review of investment objectives. Participants are provided with a unique opportunity to engage in case-based learning during the residency, alongside industry practitioners and faculty, fostering a rich and interactive learning environment.
Jesse Davis, Executive Director of ACPM®, emphasizes the evolving landscape for discretionary portfolio managers due to fluctuating markets, regulatory changes, and diverse client expectations. "The CPM® program was meticulously crafted to provide seasoned professionals with an in-depth, practice-oriented education that precisely addresses the nuances of portfolio management," he states.
Candidates who enroll can expect a structured journey that accommodates their professional commitments while ensuring they gain valuable insights into the latest best practices and strategies within the field. The online modules, followed by the hands-on residency, facilitate meaningful interactions that enrich the educational experience.
To maintain high standards and an interactive atmosphere among participants, enrollment is capped, ensuring an engaging atmosphere conducive to learning. The residency's design also allows candidates to dive deeply into the subject matter, enhancing their knowledge base while networking with peers and experts alike.
Registration for the 2026 CPM® cohort is currently open, providing investment professionals the chance to elevate their expertise. Detailed information regarding eligibility criteria, program specifics, and registration options can be found on the Academy's official website.
