“As global economies integrate and financial markets increase in volatility, the average investor is more in need of financial planning advice than ever before. The financial planning industry is flourishing — and will continue to do so.”

- Keith Fevurly, M.B.A., J.D., LL.M., CFP^®,
Executive Director, Kaplan University Financial Planning Education Program

MORE MONEY = MORE NEED FOR ADVICE
Financially speaking, it's a confusing world out there. Increasing numbers of people have more money and less knowledge about what to do with it. The number of educated, skilled financial planners will need to grow in response.

MORE MONEY = GOOD NEWS FOR FINANCIAL PLANNERS
As the economy, personal income, and inherited wealth grow, more funds are becoming available for investment. An increasing number of baby boomers (those born between 1946 and 1964) are turning 50, which means that there

are more people worrying about—and needing advice on—their retirement plans. Most people are likely to turn to financial planners for this type of assistance. As many companies reduce pension benefits and switch to defined-contribution plans, shifting the investment responsibility from the company to the individual, decisions become more meaningful and more complex. With a growing number of investment alternatives, investors will need to seek the advice of financial planners.
