Mike McCann Awarded AIF® Designation

Advisory Firm Bolsters Its Commitment to High Fiduciary Standards

 

 

(Phoenix – August 2007)  Mike McCann, CFP®, president and founder of Perspective Financial Services, LLC, has been awarded the Accredited Investment Fiduciary® (AIF) professional designation by the Center for Fiduciary Studies.

 

A fiduciary is someone who is managing the assets of another person and stands in a special relationship of trust, confidence and legal responsibility. The Center for Fiduciary Studies – associated with the Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business, University of Pittsburgh – teaches fiduciary standards of care and investment best practices designed for trustees, advisors and other investment professionals.

 

AIF designees complete a rigorous training program, pass an examination, conform to a Code of Ethics, and adhere to yearly continuing education requirements. In earning the AIF designation, McCann has further demonstrated Perspective Financial Services’ commitment to meet the highest standard of fiduciary care for its clients.

 

Perspective is an independent, fee-only Registered Investment Advisory (RIA) firm that provides clients with broad-based financial planning and investment management services.
