The College for Financial Planning®—a Kaplan Company Launches Accredited Investment Fiduciary® Training for Financial Professionals Pursuing the AIF® Designation
The AIF® assures that those responsible for managing or advising on investor assets have a fundamental understanding of the principles of fiduciary duties, the standards of conduct for acting as a fiduciary, and a process for carrying out fiduciary responsibilities. Fiduciary training supports this by providing the knowledge and tools to effectively apply an organized, prudent process for making informed and consistent investment decisions to serve clients’ best interests as fiduciaries.
“Through premier student-centered education like our AIF® training, the College continues to advance the field of financial planning by empowering our students to make a difference in their clients’ lives and thrive in their own careers,” said Dirk Pantone, president of the College. “The College is incredibly excited to continue this commitment by helping financial professionals earn their AIF® designation, which lets consumers know that their interests will take top priority.”
“We’re thrilled that the College is now an official education provider for AIF® training. Their longstanding commitment to helping financial professionals deliver better investor results and grow their careers aligns perfectly with the focus of AIF® trainees,” said John Faustino, head of Broadridge’s Fi360. “We see the AIF® as a great ‘first’ designation due to its high credibility and relative low time commitment to achieve. The College is well positioned to help address growing AIF® training demand from wealth advisors and other financial professionals.”
