BE A GLOBALLY RECOGNIZED LICENSED FINANCIAL PLANNER 

World's most prestigious financial planning profession.

Why be a globally recognized Licensed Financial Planner?

If your clients consist of expats, foreign nationals residing in neighboring countries, and is seeking collaboration with financial planners abroad, a CFP credential will be a prerequisite for you.

The fee-based financial planning market in Malaysia is ripe for harvest.

 

The competition in the industry is no longer about who has the finest financial products and services. Instead, it is who can give the most comprehensive, practical and impartial advice.


Your clients now have access to lots of information online and are more knowledgeable than before. What they lack is holistic advice customized to their situation.

 

Therefore, being an expert in one or two areas of personal finance is no longer enough. You need to be proficient in all areas of personal finance beyond financial products.

 

Unless your prospects are prepared to buy products, many avoid advice with the intent of selling them a product.

More and more professionals are looking for impartial advice that puts their interests first, enabling them to take control of their finances. 

 

As of 2022, fewer than 1,000 licensed financial planners in Malaysia provide integrated financial plans, compared to over 80,000 life insurance agents and 60,000 unit trust consultants.


Hence, the fee-based financial planning market in Malaysia is still relatively untapped. 

 

Licensed financial planners who provide unbiased holistic financial plans are in a position to tap into this lucrative fee-based financial planning market.

 

Are you ready for the unlimited opportunities that the financial planning industry offers, both locally and globally?

 

The route to becoming a globally recognized Licensed Financial Planner is through the globally recognized CFP credential.

 

CFP was brought into Malaysia by FPAM in the year 2000 to professionalize the financial services industry by equipping financial product specialists with the skills to analyze clients' needs and offer financial advice based on their goals, priorities, and circumstances.

 

In Malaysia, FPAM is the sole licensing authority for the CFP mark. It works closely with authorized education providers to prepare CFP candidates for the CFP examination.
