In Malaysia, in order to practice as a licensed financial planner or an independent insurance adviser or unit trust consultant the person needs to have the pre-requisite certifications such as the Certified Financial Planner (CFP) or Registered Financial Planner (RFP).
Apart from having the professional qualification, in order to be regulated and authorised to carry out financial planning/ advisory activities, both the company and its representatives have to be approved by Bank Negara Malaysia, Securities Commission and Federation of Investment Managers Malaysia.
