Through the years, New York Institute of Finance has grown to be a premier financial training company. For 87 years, we have been serving a global delegate base with headquarters in New York City, and have recently expanded our presence to Stamford, and internationally to London, Beijing, Hong Kong and Shanghai.

We opened our Chicago office in April of 2008. As one of the largest metropolitan areas in the USA, Chicago is an excellent location for NYIF. With a strong and growing financial sector and a large base of corporations throughout the area, Chicago serves as our regional financial training capital for the Midwest. Our Chicago office is located at 200 W. Adams Street, in the heart of the financial district.
 
On Wednesday, June 10th we hosted a special networking event at the exclusive Metropolitan Club of Chicago, located on the 66th floor of the Sears Tower.
A wonderful evening saw over 60 of Chicago's top finance & training community gather for an informal evening over drinks and canapes. Several guests also won either a FREE elearning course or a bestselling finance book from NYIF in the prize draw.
Marc Cherney, Chicago Director, said "This event was a great kick-off for our financial training in Chicago. We look forward to working with Chicago's finance & training leaders in the months and years ahead."
 
From accounting to asset management, portfolio management to yield curve analysis, our courses combine academic rigor with an in-depth understanding of how business and finance work in the real world. Through our parent company, Pearson and its subsidiaries, including the Financial Times, we have access to the best intellectual capital in the financial training industry.
