As CISI Gold Supporters, Schroders and JUST are demonstrating their leadership in quality, integrity and competence, committing to supporting success in CISI qualifications and fostering a culture of professional development for employees.
They are also demonstrating their dedication to building and developing the financial planning profession by partnering with the CISI in the UK on its flagship annual Financial Planning and Paraplanning programmes.
Global asset manager Schroders manages investments on behalf of its clients in 32 countries across Europe, the Americas, Asia, Middle East and Africa. Schroders is a supporter of CISI’s Financial Planning Mentoring scheme and has been offering an exclusive helpline for scheme mentees and mentors since January 2019.
JUST is a leading and established provider of retirement income products and services to individual and corporate clients. It recently launched the Older and Vulnerable Consumer Care Training Tool, an important free resource for advisers at a time when the issue of vulnerable customers is rising up the Financial Conduct Authority’s agenda.
Jacqueline Lockie, CFP™ Chartered FCSI, CISI’s Head of Financial Planning said: “We are thrilled to have the support of both Schroders and JUST as CISI Financial Planning Gold Supporters. Both are leaders in their sectors and do a huge amount to support the growth of the UK financial planning community. It is particularly exciting to have them involved this year as we launch our new CFPTM study pathway.”
Schroders Head of UK Intermediary Business, Phil Middleton said: “We believe the CISI plays an instrumental role in UK financial planning – both in the education of the community and their professional development. We are very pleased to be able to support this through the key learning initiatives driven by the CISI.”
