The Association of Financial Advisers (AFA) is preparing to launch its own version of the Financial Planning Association’s (FPA) Certified Financial Planner (CFP) designation.

The designation is called Fellow Chartered Financial Practitioner (FChFP) and is provided by the Asia Pacific Financial Services Association, of which AFA is affiliated.

AFA will provide the pathway for its members to access FChFP — a goal that the association has been discussing for more than a year.

AFA chief executive Richard Klipin describes the designation as the “highest recognition a member can get”.

He said it reflected the association’s approach to education, encompassing formal qualifications, peer to peer learning, and ongoing training and experience.

AFA will undergo a campaign of launching FChFP, firstly to members, then to the wider advising community and finally to consumers.
