Emeritus, a global edtech leader, has teamed up with London Business School (LBS) Executive Education to launch the Chief Investment Officer (CIO) Programme. Unveiled on April 13, 2026, this 10-month online course equips finance pros with skills to lead investments amid volatile markets.
The programme targets mid-to-senior executives, covering portfolio strategy, ESG investing, AI-driven analytics, and risk management. With 80% interactive sessions and real-world case studies, it boasts LBS faculty like Prof. Alex Edmans. Fees: $4,500 (₹3.8 lakh), with flexible payments.
Demand surges as global AUM hits $120 trillion (PwC 2025 data), but only 15% of CIOs feel ready for AI disruptions (CFA Institute survey). India’s mutual fund AUM grew 35% to ₹65 lakh crore last year (AMFI), needing skilled leaders. Emeritus, with 5M+ learners across 80 countries, has upskilled 50,000 in finance via similar programmes.
“Markets evolve fast—CIOs must too,” said LBS Director Francesca Cornelli. Graduates get LBS alumni access, boosting networks. Past Emeritus-LBS courses saw 92% career progression.
