You’re looking for somebody to help you get your money matters in order. You could turn to a certified financial behavior specialist. Or maybe a certified divorce adviser. Or maybe a student loan repayment adviser. Or maybe…?
The list goes on and on. Today, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s website lists a total of 235 credentials that you may find decorating the business card of a financial adviser. (Finra doesn’t endorse any of them.) A total of 25 new designations were added last year alone, according to advisers who have tracked these listings.
