APFA launches 2015 regional seminar series
13 January 2015
The Association of Professional Financial Advisers (APFA) is today announcing details of its 2015 regional seminar series. The seminars provide an opportunity for advisers across the country to discuss a number of key issues for the financial advice profession. The programme includes seminars on 3 themes: pension reform, regulation and best practice.
The seminars take place throughout the year, kicking off in Swindon on 20 January. The best practice seminars are sponsored by investment managers Deepbridge Advisers, who will be speaking on tax efficiency. Other speakers will include APFA, TPAS, the FCA, FOS and other industry experts.
Chris Hannant, Director General of APFA, said:
“These seminars are a great opportunity for all our members right across the UK to get together with other industry professionals and discuss some of the issues facing financial advice today. This is a time of great change, not least with pension freedoms arriving in April, and we’re pleased to have speakers talking about the changes and how advisers can best respond to the choices their clients will face.
“We’re also delighted to be welcoming sponsors Deepbridge, who will be speaking about best practice in tax advice at our best practice events across the year.”
Ian Warwick, Managing Director of Deepbridge Advisers Limited, commented:
“We are pleased to be supporting APFA with the delivery of their 2015 regional seminar series. Increasing numbers of advisers are utilising tax efficient investments to meet clients’ needs. By the very nature of such propositions, they often fall outside of advisers’ core investment propositions and therefore advisers tell us that education and refreshing of knowledge is useful. We hope APFA’s members also find our educational style useful.”
