The International Association of Registered Financial Consultants (IARFC®), applauds a significant milestone between the Association and the Insurance Marketing Group (IMG) of China. 2022 marks the 20th year of alliance which successfully promotes the Registered Financial Consultant (RFC®) designation in the areas of Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau.
Founded in 1984, International Association of Registered Financial Consultants is a non-profit professional Association formed to foster public confidence in the financial services profession, help financial consultants exchange planning techniques, and recognize practitioners who are truly committed to ethical standards and continuous professional education.
To support their Mission, the IARFC requires all of their designated and credentialed members to meet and document stringent requirements in: experience, education, examination, licensing, conduct, ethics, continuing education, and re-certification. Their designations and credential represent a high level of competency of their members at following a financial planning process from start to finish and an ability to run a practice efficiently. Over the years, the Association has expanded its reach outside of the United States, thus the recognition of a true international entity.
Starting with the formation of the Chapter cultivated back in 2002 by then Chairman Edward Morrow and the Greater China Development Chair Liang Tien Lung, to today’s relationship with the current IARFC Board of Trustees, Greater China has embraced the Mission of the IARFC which is To recognize world class financial consultants and empower them to make a transformational difference in the financial lives of the families and communities they serve.
According to Lung, IMG has sincerely appreciated the support and guidance that has made the RFC® the most recognized and respected financial designation in the Greater China area. To date, they have trained and developed more than 20,000 distinguished members who have served their clients with professionalism and integrity.
“We are looking forward to maintaining this longtime connection with the IARFC in accomplishing its mission and objectives in the coming years,” confirms Lung. “We sincerely wish, through the closer relationship of IARFC and IMG, a remarkable and prosperous future for both.”
IARFC Trustee Board Chair, Dr. H. Stephen Bailey, MRFC® echoes the accomplishments of this relationship. “I am proud of the work we have achieved with Greater China. Going forward, the Association will continue to support the Chapter with the backing of the Board of Trustees and the involvement of the home office. Let this be the message of our united efforts: to encourage…endorse…and celebrate our like-minded values.”
