Build Magazine 39 Investment “Paraplanning and paraplanners have never had such a high profile and demand for high quality practitioners is outstripping supply. At the same time, paraplanners themselves have a strong desire to improve standards because they want to and not because they have to.” “High quality CPD events focussed on and understanding the role of the paraplanner have become more frequent in recent years with initiatives such as CISI & PFS Paraplanner Conferences and the Powwows which have benefited from 7IM’s support. It’s good to see that 7IM is stepping up its own events now for the paraplanning community and I’m looking forward to attending the one in Manchester.” Since 7IM launched back in early 2002, it has pioneered a continuous stream of developments regarding how investment services are provided and charged for. “We could just provide a list of our awards but actually think it is more useful to tell you what we have done and what we have provided for clients and their planners - and there is still more to come.” In 2017, the firm is looking to expand on the Manchester experience and has plans to see up to seven events being held across the country with up to 30 participants per session.
