Accredited Investment Fiduciary (AIF)

Accredited Investment Fiduciary (AIF)


Searching for AIF training? Then you've come to the right place!

ABTrainingCenter.com offers AIF training and certification courses for those individuals interested in earning the prestigious Accredited Investment Fiduciary designation.

Administered by fi360, the Accredited Investment Fiduciary (AIF®) professional designation is the first and only designation that demonstrates knowledge and competency in the area of fiduciary responsibility. Holders of the AIF® mark have successfully completed a specialized program on investment fiduciary standards and subsequently passed a comprehensive examination.

AIF designees have a reputation in the industry as being the best positioned to implement a prudent process into their own investment practices, as well as being able to assist others in implementing proper policies and procedures.

For this reason the AIF was named one of the “Ten Most Wanted” designations in the investment industry by Financial Planning magazine.


Curriculum

The AIF program is offered in four distinct training formats: candidates may complete a 2-day Classroom-based Program (offered at several universities and training facilities across the world), a Web-based Program, a Capstone Program - blended learning experience that combines the Web-based Program with a 1-day classroom session, or a Custom Program.

The various training formats cater to the needs of the busy professional, yet deliver the same curriculum. Each program culminates with an accreditation exam to obtain the AIF designation.


Examination Requirements

Candidates for the AIF designation will be required to take a 50-question multiple choice exam and will need a passing score of 70% or better. The examination is administered at the conclusion of training for Classroom and Capstone participants, and as an online examination for Web-based participants.


Additional Requirements

Once accredited, AIF designees have the following obligations:
  • They must sign and agree to abide by a Code of Ethics
  • They complete appropriate continuing education requirements
  • They must submit an accreditation application with $325 in annual dues

Continuing Education Requirements

AIF designees are required to complete six hours of continuing education annually. Online continuing education modules for designees are included as part of one’s annual dues. Two hours may be fulfilled from outside sources.
