Investment Monitoring and Updating

Overview:

This CPE course can be purchased individually or as part of the Investment Planning Certificate Program.

During the monitoring and updating phase of the investment planning engagement, performance is measured, goal achievements are monitored, and actions and recommendations are updated. More complex than the implementation phase, the monitoring and updating phase has an increased number of variables that must be calculated, validated and tracked.

Updated for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, this two-part course examines:

• Measuring performance and goal achievement
• Updating the Investment Policy Statement (IPS)
• Portfolio rebalancing

This course also reviews the AICPA personal financial planning standard, which states a personal financial planner may be engaged in tracking progress in achieving established PFP goals or revising an existing personal financial plan, or both. We will also look at the passage of time, which affects all areas of an IPS. Therefore, goals that were once necessary may be eliminated and new goals documented, based on an agreement with the client.
