S3:E2 Global financial planning - how the advice world is adapting

In this week's interview we talk to Noel Maye, CEO of the Financial Planning Standards Board, about the global financial planning profession and what it means to be a CFP professional in the UK and across the world. We talk in detail about the key areas that CFP professionals are changing to support more clients both during the pandemic and beyond. We also look at how the global numbers of CFP professionals is growing, why that might be as well as future projects for financial planners and the professional bodies that support them.
