In April 2022, The Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (FSRA), recognized Advocis’ Institute for Advanced Financial Education as a credentialing body under their new Financial Professionals Title Protection Rule (FPTP Rule), which was proclaimed into force on March 28, 2022.

IAFE’s Professional Financial Advisor (PFA™) was granted approval for use of the “Financial Advisor” title and the CLU® was authorized for use of the “Financial Planner” title in Ontario.

Advocis remains committed to supporting our members by providing them with clear and concise information and the tools they’ll need to successfully comply with the Financial Professionals Title Protection Framework. Join our Regulatory Affairs and Education experts on May 31, 2022, as they provide details and answer questions related to how these new regulations will impact our members and their practices.

*This event is currently pending review for CE credits.
