A chance to define our own profession
The debate about professionalism continues to permeate the financial planning industry, with much discussion about what it might involve. I want to make it clear that this shift is something that I wholeheartedly endorse - as advisers we have a duty towards our clients' wellbeing. The steady progression towards professional status will only assist us in meeting this responsibility. But what I am questioning is the form of professionalism that we choose to adopt - or the mechanics, if you will.
