Are you in compliance regarding your Investment Advisor Representative (IAR) education? At its core, the new IAR CE obligation mandates that financial advisors earn 12 hours of continuing education credits each year – 6 hours on Products and Practice and 6 hours on their Ethics and Professional Responsibility. Any IAR who has more than the de minimis number of clients in any of the affected states is subject to the new rule.

Are you registered as an IAR in one of the following states where the CE requirement is in effect? Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Nevada, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Washington, DC, Wisconsin.

To help, FPA has joined with the team at Kitces.com to offer the first annual Kitces IAR CE Day on August 29. It’s the perfect opportunity to fulfill the 6 hours of IAR Ethics CE and also earn 6 hours of CE for CFP®, CIMA, CPA, and other designations.

Registration opens July 15.
