SAM Precious Metals Institute (SPMI) is proud to announce the signing of a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with The CMT Association, the New York–based global authority on technical analysis of financial markets and the body that grants the Chartered Market Technician (CMT) designation. This marks a major step forward in expanding access to globally recognized financial market education across the Middle East, Africa, and the wider Global South.
Through this agreement, SPMI will work closely with The CMT Association to establish a collaborative framework focused on education, professional development, and industry engagement. As part of this cooperation, we will promote the CMT Program across its member and student network and provide a Dubai-based pathway for financial executives preparing for the three-level CMT examination. The CMT Association, in return, will open access to its publications, including newsletters, weekly webcasts, monthly newsletter, and podcasts to SPMI members. The collaboration will further offer opportunities to CMT charter holders to offer guest lectures to the financial community at our institute. The partnership will also open opportunities to co-host major events like conferences, seminars, webinars and workshops.
A Collective Approach to Financial Success
Located at the center of one of the most strategically located countries, SAM Institute is a more accessible location than New York or London to pursue the most respected market-analysis credential, the CMT designation. Our partnership with the CMT Association will allow financial executives across regions like the Gulf, North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, and South Asia to pursue their technical analysis education without a need to travel to the far-off New York or London.
Despite the ongoing global tensions, the UAE has continued to demonstrate resilience through its regional exchange activity, sovereign issuance, and growing international investment interest. With this partnership with CMT, the strength of the UAE is further reinforced – attracting global financial executives and offering exceptional growth opportunities. By bringing globally recognized financial market education and technical analysis training closer to regional professionals, we seek to shape the future of finance across the broader Middle East and Global South.
As part of the collaboration, both institutions will jointly explore:
· Educational initiatives and executive learning programs
· Industry conferences and seminars
· Webinars and workshops
· Knowledge-sharing and professional networking opportunities
By combining our regional influence with the CMT Association’s global expertise, this partnership will bring forth new opportunities for professionals seeking world-class knowledge in technical analysis, investment education, and financial market strategy.
