FAAA Event Code of Conduct

Overview

The Professional Year (PY) is a critical pathway that all future Financial Advisers must undertake. With less than 15,000 licenced Advisers now in Australia, it’s never been more important for PY candidates and their supervisors to get the most out of the experience together.

In this upcoming event from the Sydney GenNext Committee, we’ll uncover the tips to help you prosper throughout the PY. Join us for an interactive panel session where you’ll hear from PY candidates, supervisors and PY experts. We’ll explore how to navigate the PY together, how to approach the Financial Adviser exam and provide an open forum to learn from the experiences of those who have trodden the PY path before.

The event will conclude with informal networking over light refreshments & canapes, providing a chance to form new relationships for those seeking to tread the PY path together.

Be sure to register in advance, as spots are limited.
