Adviser trade body Pimfa has lent its support to the FTAdviser Promote your Profession campaign.
Liz Field, chief executive of Pimfa, said: "As the trade association for the wealth management and professional financial advice industry, Pimfa is very happy to support FT Adviser’s campaign to promote the industry."
The campaign, which aims to bring advisers, planners, paraplanners and brokers together to share best practice and encourage collaboration to boost the profession, launches officially this week.
The aims are fourfold:
- To provide a forum where readers can share best practice and ideas for showcasing the professionalism of financial advice.
- To bring expert commentary and insights from experienced professionals on building successful advisory businesses.
- To promote ways to encourage school and college leavers to consider financial advice as an attractive, long-term career.
- To lobby parliament and the Treasury to consider the importance of entrepreneurial financial services companies in the UK's post-Brexit regulatory framework.
Field added: "Pimfa continuously works hard on behalf of our members, and we have had multiple wins on behalf of the advice profession over the past year.
"It is vital the industry works in collaboration and on key campaign this enables us to speak with a strong unified voice when campaigning on the key issues that matter so that we do not contradict each other and create confusion when dealing with policy makers."
She added: “We welcome anything FTAdviser can do to collaborate with us on promoting the sector with the government, FCA, and other stakeholders.”
