The prestigious ‘Chartered Financial Planner’, designated by the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII), is the industry’s gold standard for financial planning firms.

Achieving Chartered status means an adviser, or financial planning firm, has committed to the highest levels of technical and professional knowledge and competence. They have successfully completed advanced professional qualifications and can demonstrate an ongoing commitment to continuing professional development and adherence to an industry standard Code of Ethics.

Although the concept of Chartered professionalism dates back hundreds of years, Chartered Financial Planner status has only been achievable since 2005, when the Privy Council granted the CII the power to award it to individuals and firms who could meet the rigorous criteria.

Since then, just 12% of advisers have met this highly–prestigious designation and, like us, can proudly bear the logo on their website and / or business stationery.
