Young Financial Planners Organisation
The Financial Planning Institute of Southern Africa (FPI) has launched the Young Financial Planners Organisation (YFPO), a member led FPI community, as part of its vision to make professional financial planning available to all South Africans. YFPO, which is actively seeking under-45s who work as – or aspire to work as – financial planners, is about uniting and inspiring the young generation of CFP® Professionals by bringing together FPI Student, Candidate and Professional Members under the age of 45 in the spirit of collective improvement. The YFPO’s overarching purpose is to professionalise financial planning in South Africa, while at the same time championing diversity and inclusion in the industry at all phases of the professional journey. While the organisation is aimed at under-45s, CFP® professionals who join before this age can elect to remain involved as veterans and mentors.
