Accredited Investment Fiduciary®
What is an Accredited Investment Fiduciary®?
The Accredited Investment Fiduciary® (AIF®) designation is a professional certification that demonstrates an advisor or other person serving as an investment fiduciary has met specific requirements to earn and maintain the credential. This designation is accredited by the American National Standards Institute making the designation unique to an elite group of financial professionals.
AIF® designees have been certified specifically to follow a fiduciary process with their clients’ best interests at heart. Designees must provide documented industry and educational experience to qualify for the designation, as well as complete AIF® training covering Prudent Practices® for managing fiduciary assets for wealth, nonprofit and retirement clients. After passing the necessary examination, designees showcase their professionalism by committing to follow the AIF® Code of Ethics and Conduct Standards and completing the continuing education requirements to maintain their designation.
