Why the CFP® Certification Continues to be the “Golden” Standard of the Financial Planning Industry
“CFP Board took a bold step more than a decade ago in requiring a fiduciary duty when CFP® professionals provide financial planning services. We are raising the bar even higher now with a fiduciary standard that will apply anytime a CFP® professional gives financial advice,” said Richard Salmen, CFP®, Chair of CFP Board’s Board of Directors. “This is a monumental step forward in the evolution of not just CFP® certification, but for the profession of financial planning. Consumers, advisors and firms alike will all benefit from these new Standards.”
On March 29, 2018, the Board of Directors announced they have approved CFP Board’s new Code of Ethics and Standards of Conduct. These Standards set forth the ethical standards by which all CFP® professionals must comply. For more information, please visit: https://bit.ly/2J3uih9
