Accredited Investment Fiduciary Analyst®
BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN INVESTORS AND ADVISORS RELY ON TRUST.
That trust is built on a commitment by the advisor to act solely in your best interests. But how can you be sure that the person you are entrusting not only embraces their commitment but is fully qualified to fulfill it?
Background research and client references will reveal an advisor's experience and reputation. But one way you can quickly find out is to ask if the advisor is an investment fiduciary who has earned the Accredited Investment Fiduciary Analyst® (AIFA) Designation from the Center of Fiduciary Studies™, the standards-setting body of Fi360.
