Accredited Portfolio Management AdvisorSM - APMA®
The Accredited Portfolio Management AdvisorSM, or APMA® program, is a graduate-level designation program for experienced financial professionals. The program covers the finer points of portfolio creation, augmentation, and maintenance.
Topics covered in the program include client assessment and suitability, risk/return, investment objectives, bond and equity portfolios, modern portfolio theory, investor psychology, and other topics germane to building appropriate client portfolios. Students gain hands-on practice in analyzing investment policy statements, building portfolios, and making asset allocation decisions, to include determining sell, hold, and buy decisions within a client’s portfolio.
Upon graduation, APMA® designees receive credit for the completion of FP513 in our CFP® certification education program and earn 3 hours of credit toward an MS Degree in Personal Financial Planning.
