The Current Opportunity In The Financial Advisor Field

THE NEED FOR FINANCIAL ADVISORS

Investors want and need Financial Advisors: 85% of customers would rather work with a human Financial Advisor. Financial Advisors provide economic benefits of advice as much as 3% per year.

Who will be the next generation? As a 501(c)3 public charity, the Financial Advisor Training Institute will train 250,000 new professional Financial Advisors to bridge this gap and fill the need.

According to Moss Adams, an estimated shortfall of 200,000 retail Financial Advisors arrived in the United States in 2022.

"Prior to joining FATI I was in corporate America for 2 decades. Like a lot of career changers, I wanted to make a move and hit the ground running, and what really appealed to me was being able to complete the licensing while being employed so once I made that leap I would have that head-start."

Ann, P 41

"I really found the self-paced program appealing, and being remote that accommodated our schedules as well. As much as i loved being a teacher, I knew I would never be making the income as a teach that I would be making as a Financial Advisor."
