The AWMA® program is designed for advisors who want to better address the unique needs of high net worth clients. With this designation an advisor is able to help clients capitalize on opportunities to preserve, grow, and transfer their wealth. It enhances the abilities to optimize clients' investments to achieve their goals while minimizing investment volatility. The program contains sections dedicated to behavioral finance, working with small business owners, and succession/exit planning. There is also an entire module specifically dedicated to the fiduciary and regulatory issues facing advisors.

The CRPC® designation is the industry-benchmark for retirement planning credentials and is encouraged by the top firms in the industry. Financial advisors face an increasingly complex onslaught of retirement planning questions as aging baby boomers look for investments to meet their lifestyle needs in 10 years, 20 years, and beyond, as well as determining when they can actually retire. These clients demand a high level of knowledge from their advisors. This program is designed to help define a "road map to retirement," enabling advisors to focus on clients' pre-and post-retirement needs, as well as issues related to asset management and estate planning.
