Not All Financial Professionals are the Same
Is the investment advice you are receiving really in your best interests? Unless your advisor understands and follows a fiduciary process, you can’t really be sure. Even those investment professionals who are required to act as fiduciaries might not have the experience or training to prepare them for this enormous responsibility.
As an Accredited Investment Fiduciary (AIF®), Bob Lawson has been certified specifically for his ability to follow a fiduciary process with his clients’ best interests at heart. Here are some attributes that make AIF® Designees different from other advisors or financial professionals:
Experience
Designees are required to provide documented industry and educational experience to qualify for the designation.
Education
Designees must complete the Accredited Investment Fiduciary® (AIF®) Training, which covers the Prudent Practices® for managing fiduciary assets for wealth, nonprofit and retirement clients.
Examination
Designees must pass an examination to prove comprehension of the Prudent Practices® and ability to act in the best interest of clients.
Ethics
Designees adhere to a Code of Ethics and Conduct Standards that show a commitment to a higher degree of industry professionalism.
Continuing Education
Designees commit to keeping their knowledge and skills sharp by completing annual continuing education requirements.
