Why Work With an Accredited Behavioral Finance Professional™

The Accredited Behavioral Finance Professional℠ (ABFP®) certification program is a unique graduate-level program for advanced financial planners. Designees have the foundational knowledge of behavioral finance history, definitions, trends, and portfolio construction principles, and best practices for integrating behavioral finance theories into real-life situations.

ABFP® ACCREDITATION REQUIREMENTS:

To be entitled to use this mark, candidates must successfully complete the specialized program and pass a rigorous examination, sign a code of professional ethics, and complete a disclosure form attesting to their professional conduct.

Applicants must disclose any criminal, civil, or other proceedings related to their professional conduct. CFFP thoroughly reviews each application before individuals receive accreditation.

All ABFP® designees must sign a commitment to ongoing continuing education credit to ensure that they stay current in the field.
