Aisa International has just renewed its Chartered Financial Planner status for another year. This is on top of being separately listed as a Finalist in the prestigious Money Marketing top IFA award, one of only 4 firms.
Chartered Financial Planner- Chartered Insurance Institute
As the Chartered Insurance Institute states, when confirming status: “Chartered Financial Planner status has and will continue to raise the profile of your organisation and help enhance the professionalism of our whole sector in the eyes of consumers, commentators, and the regulator.”
Chartered titles are jealously guarded by professional bodies and are not awarded lightly. Chartered status, therefore, brings with it a number of serious obligations.
The title Chartered Financial Planner is a public declaration that the advice given by your firm:
- is of the highest quality;
- is based solely on the researched needs of the customer; and
- is provided by someone not exceeding their level of competency.
It also signifies that your firm’s staff, where members of the CII, are governed by a Code of Ethics, where CII qualified undertake annual CPD, and that disciplinary sanctions are applied to those who transgress. ‘
Chartered Financial Planner- Outside the UK
While the Chartered Financial Planner status applies to the UK FCA-regulated advice firm within the Aisa Group, a number of our non-UK advisers are also Chartered and you can check their status on this handy member directory by typing in the name of the adviser
Also, we would recommend you read this article before you select a non-UK adviser as this will help you determine whether the adviser is qualified and to what level.
