Of the 410 graduates formerly recognised today, 222 have reached chartered status, 37 have reached associate level and 151 have been inducted as fellows (the highest qualification).

Keith Richards, chief executive of the PFS, said: “Each year the Personal Finance Society congratulates graduates who come from a variety of positions across our sector, but who all value the benefits of further study and strive towards greater levels of professionalism.

"Like those before them, this year’s graduates have shown an impressive commitment to learning and development, and have proven themselves as leaders and advocates of the financial planning profession.”
