As a designated specialist, provide high value advice to help people meet wealth management goals. Study time is flexible—take up to 9 months to finish.
THE PRE-EMINENT STANDARD IN PROVIDING REAL WEALTH MANAGEMENT SERVICES
A co-ordinated approach to wealth management is lacking between all the financial intermediaries – financial, legal and tax advisors – serving investors. There are also new best interest duties
required by regulators in the financial services. More than ever, clients expect to receive advice that is relevant both for today’s business environment as well as for the long-term wealth accumulation activities the family embarks upon.
They are looking for a wealth manager to connect the dots between the various
silos of expertise they may be paying for. Above all, they’re looking for someone they trust to provide direction for making important financial decisions about their income and their capital, now and in the future.
This program will take you beyond the traditional scope of product placement, into an environment where you can
integrate the kind of value-added long-term guidance, planning and leadership
that will distinguish your practice.
Who Should Take it? Advisors who truly want to offer a new value proposition and build strong, inter-generational, multi-advisory relationships throughout personal and financial lifecycles, will want to use a new approach: Real Wealth Management.
The course entails the completion of 18 online modules and features a case study approach using 15 sophisticated software tools to enable deeper conversations and projections that answer specific financial trigger questions.
Of special interest to tax and financial advisors, retirement, investment, insurance and estate planners, but also perfect for any individual wishing to take control of the wealth they accumulate throughout their lifetime.
You’ll complete 18 comprehensive modules in this important professional program:

PLUS: You’ll fulfill a practice management thesis by developing a wealth management case study.
