My Expertise

Let's start at the top, which for me is the Institute of Financial Planning (IFP). You can explore their website and look at my membership via this hyperlink http://www.financialplanning.org.uk/homepage_flash.cfm

I qualified as a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) during 2004 and in 2008 I became an examiner with the IFP and now mark new delegate papers.

The IFP is not a regulatory body because in the UK this position is taken by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) to which I am also recognised and you can search for my entry here http://www.fsa.gov.uk/

The Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) also awarded me the Diploma in Financial Services - DipFS.

If you put these qualifications together I rank in a modest elite group of less than 5% of the regulated advisers within the UK in 2008.
