Beyond the CFP: Additional Certifications

We all know that the CFP is the gold standard of certifications in the financial planning industry. However, once you reach that milestone, is it worth it to seek additional certifications? You have to consider the time commitment to study, the financial expense of exam fees and ongoing dues, the annual continuing education requirements and much more. In this session, you will hear from three financial advisors who have a total of five different certifications between them. They will share why they decided to pursue additional certifications, how it has (or has not) served them in their career, and what they would recommend to those considering getting certified beyond the CFP!
