Launched in 2009 the Personal Finance Society’s Chartered Awards recognise the contribution that Chartered Financial Planner status is making to enhance the reputation of financial advice as a trusted and valued profession.

Almost 2,100 financial advisers are now proud holders of the coveted Chartered Financial Planner title, increasingly recognised as the gold standard of the financial advisory profession. Over 290 financial planning firms can now also distinguish themselves after being awarded corporate Chartered status.

Receiving a Chartered Award from the Personal Finance Society, the UK’s foremost professional body, will represent the ultimate endorsement of excellence and professional achievement.
