Financial Planning is not a solution to climate change nor world hunger but it is, on balance, a pretty good thing.

The Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI) has called for more Financial Planners to sign up to take part in this year’s Financial Planning Week.

The Queen has approved a recommendation by the Privy Council that the CISI can use the designation Chartered Fellow (Financial Planning) for all members that have gained its Certified Financial Planner accreditation.

A new survey by a Financial Planning professional body has revealed that 55% of women have suffered from "stress, anxiety or depression" in the past year.
