Accredited Listed Product Adviser (ALPA) program

Despite the volatility inherent in the financial markets, investor demand for listed investments is growing. So too is the need for advisers to have access to the knowledge and skills to provide quality advice on listed investments. The more you know about the types of listed products and the strategies behind their use the better you can help your clients take advantage of them. This is especially relevant in an advisory environment where a fee for service business model is driving the need to explore new investment options while effectively managing associated risks. Kaplan Professional, together with the ASX, offers the ALPA program to help you gain a detailed understanding of the characteristics of listed products and learn how to apply listed products to a wealth management strategy.
