Embrace the potential of a professional membership certificate and invest in a future of professional and financial growth.
Embrace the potential of a PMC
Becoming a member of the International Association of Valuers (IAV) grants you a Professional Membership Certificate (PMC) — an invaluable investment in your future. Membership in the IAV is exclusive and with limited availability, your PMC will be a much sought-after and tradeable asset.
Over time, A PMC has the potential to grow in value, offering financial benefits beyond your professional earnings.
Why a PMC is valuable
01
Demand
The exclusivity of an IAV membership enhances the value of PMCs in the professional marketplace. With a limited number of issues, the demand for recognition under the IAV masthead, coupled with scarcity, will drive up PMC values.
02
Tradeable Asset
Your PMC can be sold at any time, with its market value determined by the current demand for IAV memberships. The IAV occasionally offers buy-back opportunities to members.
Trading your PMC
Selling your PMC
Unlike other member organisations, when you retire from the IAV, you can sell your membership rights to another qualifying professional at the going market rate. Having a career working within the IAV framework has the potential to deliver you a significant payout on retirement. Alternatively, you can hold your PMC for future capital gain (also open to investors) and/or lease your PMC to an aspiring professional.
Leasing your PMC
A PMC offers leasing options, enabling flexibility for both PMC owners and aspiring professionals who wish to benefit from IAV membership do not qualify. Investigate the opportunities to lease your PMC under a ‘Full Rights Lease’ or a ‘Partial Rights Lease’ to aspiring professionals.
The more successful you are, the more valuable your PMC and its return on your professional investment.
How to get started
Owning a PMC is a gateway to professional recognition and financial opportunities. Whether you choose to hold, sell, or lease your certificate, the PMC offers unparalleled flexibility and value.
