Registered Life Planner® Designation
“The industry has a goals-based approach to managing portfolios. But goals-based investing doesn’t work if advisers can’t get a clear understanding of clients’ goals… Kinder pioneered the discovery process advisers use to help clients articulate the goals that really matter to them. The growth in Kinder’s RLPs is a clear sign of the demand for a process that allows advisers to connect more deeply with clients.”
