Fellowship (FSIP)
NEWS: Broby, Brown, Dimson, Fitzpatrick, Good, Riley, Samad and Tomlinson elected to UKSIP Fellowship
List of Current Fellows
Fellowship
There are at present three 'categories' of Fellows:
- members of the society,
- honorary members and
- those who attained fellowship status through examination or a thesis.
Benefits of Fellowship
As far as existing members are concerned, most of the benefits of fellowship are intangible: additional status and a life-long, public "thank you" for past contributions. However, with the exception of the bi-annual Fellows lunch there are no concrete benefits as member fellows continue to pay their annual subscription. (The last Fellows lunch took place in April 2006 and the next will be held in April 2008.)
Honorary members, on the other hand, have free membership of the society and at the same time, receive the benefits of membership. Below is a list of benefits of Fellowship available to all Fellows:
- Use of the elite FSIP designation
- Coverage of election in Professional Investor and on the society's site
- Invitation to the bi-annual Fellows lunch and to the Annual Dinner
- Invitations to other society social events
- Recognition on the society's site
- Membership benefits identical to those of other members:
- Access to events at discounted rates
- Priority access ahead of non-members
- Access to the society's site and publications
- Input into the society's advocacy in
relation to accounting standards and market and professional integrity
issues
There are no explicit obligations attached to the acceptance of a Fellowship. There is a tacit understanding that a Fellow will continue to support the aims and objectives of the society. The society's mission is:
"To lead the development of the investment profession through the promotion of the highest ethical standards and through the provision of education, professional development, advocacy, information and career support on behalf of its members."
At a more practical level, the society hopes that Fellows will make themselves available to the society to provide occasional advice (for instance, concerning advocacy issues or suitable speakers for an event) and might be prepared to deliver a Fellows Lecture at some point in the first few years after their election.
However, the society also accepts that Fellowship is a recognition of past efforts and that Fellows may not wish to provide even this occasional support.
In short, we hope to be able to continue to draw on the Fellow's expertise for the benefit of the society and our members, but there are no direct obligations on Fellows. The society elects Fellows in recognition of the distinguished contributions that they have already made to the society or to the profession and is pleased to do so.
