CFP® Certificants: 3 credits (2 Professional Responsibility, 1 Financial Planning)
Institute Members: 3 credits (includes 1 Ethics)

You are charged with finding the fit between client needs and objectives, and products. The best fit—in fact, the only fit— is one that puts client interest first. When that fit is achieved, suitability may also be satisfied.

In this course you will be guided towards the considerations of a fitting product. You will also show evidence of, and adherence to, compliance and issues of responsibility. Plus, you receive a suitability checklist to help guide your work.

  • Learn the reasons that investment suitability is the most common complaint among older investors and how that complaint can be eliminated through the decisions you make;
  • Read case studies taken from the files of regulators about instances where suitability has been abused;
  • Be guided with a suitability checklist to test your recommendations and actions.
