Here at Strabens Hall, we are incredibly proud to hold corporate Chartered Financial Planner status. Granted by the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII), this prestigious accolade is known in the industry as the gold standard for financial planning firms. It showcases our commitment to the professional standards and to providing the highest possible level of service for our clients.
To achieve corporate Chartered status, we have to satisfy and maintain the strict requirements of the CII. The qualifications and experience of our managerial team, and all client facing staff, were reviewed, as was the financial health of the business. Corporate governance and internal systems were also assessed. This included evaluating the levels of control over risk management and record-keeping, as well as ongoing professional development and diversity and inclusion.
Maintaining our corporate Chartered status
Maintaining corporate Chartered status goes beyond hanging a certificate on our office wall or adding a badge to our website.
As a firm, we need to comply with the CII’s – and our – Code of Ethics at all times. Our team must continue to put the interests of our clients first, always acting ethically and with integrity. Our internal systems, processes and company culture must encourage this too.
We dedicate ourselves to consistently delivering the highest possible level of service, going above and beyond to ensure that we treat everyone – clients, potential clients and team members – equally and fairly.
Marketing Director, Gillian Wilson commented: “holding and maintaining this status is extremely important to us, as a firm. We believe it demonstrates our commitment to continued learning and maintaining the highest quality standard of advice we can possibly provide. We hope in turn that this provides peace of mind to our clients that they are in safe hands.”
