Amsterdam Institute of Finance, or AIF, is a financial training institute for international finance specialists and other professionals based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands where it offers open enrollment training programs. In addition, AIF organizes the Executive Master in Risk Management program in partnership with the New York University Stern School of Business,[1] and runs customized in-company programs in The Netherlands and abroad.[2] AIF has organized programs for clients in Asia, the Middle East, South America, and throughout Europe.[3]
Established in 1990 as an initiative of the Dutch financial community and government officials, AIF provides financial training and operates as an independent, not-for-profit and self-supporting foundation.[4]
Previously located on the Stadhouderskade in the Leidseplein area of Amsterdam, AIF moved in early 2013 to a new modern location close to Amsterdam Central Station on the newly developed Oostersdokeiland.
AIF is registered with the international CFA Institute as an Approved Provider of Continuing Education programs. A number of AIF programs are also accredited by PRMIA.
AIF made news with the announcement of a joint-venture with NYU's Stern School of Business to offer a Master of Science in Risk Management Program for Executives degree. This is a one year, part-time program divided into five on-site class sessions (modules) at NYU Stern in New York and two rotating global locations, including Amsterdam. Distance learning techniques are used between the modules. The program incorporates traditional and innovative modeling techniques, but aims to situate this knowledge within the larger context of business strategy and risk management.
