Because of the CMFC^® program, I am now able to compare funds based on their past, present, and future directions. I have confidence in my knowledge of the various funds and in my ability to communicate that knowledge to clients. - Jan W

Program Summary:

The CMFC^® program provides the education necessary to earn the only industry-recognized mutual fund designation. The result of collaboration between the College for Financial Planning and the Investment Company Institute (ICI)—the primary trade association for the mutual fund industry—the program’s quality and thoroughness reflect the combined experience and expertise of the College and the ICI.

This program provides you with a thorough knowledge of mutual funds and their various uses as investment vehicles. The case studies used throughout the course—presenting client scenarios and pointing out opportunities for you to make the most of these popular investments—provide insight into effective use of these investment vehicles. As a graduate of the program, you can approach mutual funds with a new understanding and confidence and communicate that confidence to your clients.

In addition to becoming an expert in your chosen field, earning the CMFC^® designation has also been shown to increase your earnings and your number of clients.
