RE: TRANSFER AGENT: BASIC TRAINING COURSE NOW AVAILABLE
______________________________________________________________________________
A new training course on the types, organization, and functions of a mutual fund
transfer agent is now available from the Institute. The new program, Transfer Agent: Basic
Training, is a two-to three-hour video-based training course that may be used for either group
or self-paced learning. It has been designed to assist employees of fund groups, transfer agents,
banks, and others who require a basic understanding of the roles played by mutual fund
transfer agents. Course materials include a videotape, student workbook, and leaders guide
(with optional group activities and discussion topics). A glossary, final exam, and answer key
are also provided.
Enclosed is more information on the topics covered in Transfer Agent: Basic Training,
as well as an order form. For more information on this course, or the Institutes other training
and continuing education programs, please consult the Institutes Catalog of Training Materials
