This graduate-level designation is given to candidates who complete a one-year educational program focusing on fixed-income instruments, retirement and financial planning, taxes, Medicare, withdrawal plans, stretch IRAs, and reverse mortgages.
According to Angelo C. Stracuzzi, President of Greylock Federal Credit Union said, “Continuing professional education enables our Financial Advisors to sharpen their skills and gain knowledge that will help them advise our clients on a comprehensive range of wealth management needs.”
Mike Fazio, Senior Vice President Greylock Investment Group added, “Members of the financial services community are taught how to help their clients accumulate assets. What has always been missing is comprehensive and unbiased information as to how to turn assets into a stream of reliable income. We are more than capable to address these issues and provide the answers.”
To earn this designation, Clement had to pass three comprehensive exams and a written case study as well as adhere to The Institute of Business & Finance Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice and fulfill annual continuing education requirements.
