Licensed Securities Dealer

Established in 1997, Charter Financial Planning is a licensed securities dealer. Within the financial planning industry, Charter is referred to as a "dealership". This unrestricted licence to deal in securities means that Charter has the authority to recommend a variety of investment and financial planning solutions to clients.

Charter Financial Planning provides strong infrastructure and back-office support to its financial adviser network, and ensures that compliance requirements are met. Our financial advisers undergo rigorous accreditation plus extensive ongoing training, and are provided with technical, research and strategic support.
