Legacy Investment Manager Earns CTFA Credential - October 03, 2007
 | | Michael A. Fazio |
PITTSFIELD - An investment expert with Legacy Portfolio Management, a division of Legacy Banks, has attained the designation of certified trust and financial adviser.
Michael A. Fazio, senior vice president, earned the credential by successfully completing the CTFA examination administered by the Institute of Certified Bankers. Established in 1990, the CTFA designation distinguishes individuals who demonstrate excellence, experience and education in the wealth management industry.
In addition to completing the exam, those seeking CTFA status must show both experience and strength in fiduciary and trust activities, financial planning, tax and law planning, investment management, and ethics. Legacy Banks President and Chief Operating Officer Michael Christopher congratulated Fazio on his accomplishment saying, "This designation is a testament to Mike’s successful career here at LPM serving the varied investment management needs of clients for the past decade. Mike’s newest certification will serve both him and us well as we work with current and future clients on their full range of financial needs."
Unlike most financial designations, CTFA focuses on the fiduciary obligation to the beneficiary.
Fazio joined Legacy in 1998 and continues to serve as an investment manager. Previously a senior seminar speaker for the Ayco Co., he conducted executive-level benefits seminars for Fortune 500 companies. Prior to that, he served as a financial consultant with Merrill Lynch from 1991-1996.
Earning a master of business administration and bachelor of arts from the University at Albany, Fazio is also a certified financial planner. He resides in Averill Park, N.Y., with his wife and two children. |
