| Entrusted by the Securities Commission, FIMM is the sole institution which organises the examination which qualifies individuals to market and distribute unit trusts. Unit trusts qualification examinations started in 1999 using the manual format and have since progressed to a computerised, web-based examination known as CUTE. Candidates must thus have a fair knowledge on the usage of a computer before attempting the examination. Candidates are required to answer 60 multiple choice questions within two hours. It is mandatory that candidates pass the CUTE before they market and distribute unit trusts. | |
| The first CUTE session commenced 22 July 2004 with the manual examination being conducted concurrently until October 2004. Starting November 2004, CUTE was fully implemented. | |
| The CUTE sessions are conducted regularly in the Klang Valley and major cities or towns in Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak. The CUTE schedule and locations can be viewed by clicking on this link. | |
