It seems that the average age of financial planners in the industry moves in lock-step with the welcoming of a new year. Add one to the calendar year, add one to the average age.
Like the NexGen community of the Financial Planning Association, a new networking group introduced today by NAPFA aims to reduce the consistent increase in average age by supporting young financial planners. The new group, called NAPFA Genesis, and is focused on the growth and advancement of students, associates and planners under the age of 33.
“We are hopeful the creation of NAPFA Genesis will help younger planners in the industry learn what they have to do to be successful while making Fee-Only financial planning stronger in the future,” said David Grant, CFP®, founder and volunteer leader of NAPFA Genesis. “Those providing financial planning services are getting older so there is a need to develop a strong presence of competent Fee-Only professionals to help drive the industry forward. NAPFA Genesis will be a resource that has the potential to develop a future generation of Fee-Only planners.”
