While more knowledge-sharing across different segments of the financial advice profession would be beneficial to advisors and consumers, the different provinces of the financial advice business are fiefdoms. AICPA, CFP Board, IMCA, CFA Institute, American College each has its own governing body, staff and bureaucracy, and political dynamic. Each fiefdom would say it provides the best designation for consumers seeking financial advice, which arguably keeps them fragmented.

Sean Walters, CEO of Investment Management Consultants Association, sits atop one of the most strategically situated vantage points for observing the profession, and he’s talking about the challenges and crosscurrents he sees at an A4A webinar tomorrow at 4 ET. IMCA serves a diverse membership: 29% of its members are CFPs, 9% are CPAs, 5% are ChFCs, 2% are CFAs, 11% are CPWAs and 79% are CIMAs.

Walters says investors trust advisors less, but expect more. Meanwhile, government regulation is adding to the burden on RIAs and broker/dealers, as rules slowly coming down from the Dodd-Frank Act are being implemented. The competitive dynamic advisors face is shifting while the movement to make the financial advice business a profession is being reshaped. To understand what’s going on, join us for this session.
