Winners score on excellence in their presentation of true and useful information and advice to investors in one marathon of a competition

THE SCMP/IFPHK Financial Planner Awards, now in their second year, continue to provide a much-needed benchmark for measuring the growth and development of Hong Kong's financial planning industry.

The awards, organised by the Institute of Financial Planners of Hong Kong in conjunction with the South China Morning Post and the only scheme of its kind in Asia, recognises financial planning excellence in independent financial advisory (IFA), insurance and banking sectors.

An industry trophy is awarded to the winner in each sector. The three winners then go into a final round to determine who collects the overall financial planner of the year award.

'We like to think that these awards cover the industry better than any other awards,' said Angeline Chin, chief executive, Institute of Financial Planners of Hong Kong (IFPHK).

'Also, they are unique in that we ask candidates to submit real cases, not a plan created just to win the competition. Their first round entry is a real financial plan they have worked on for a client,' she said.
