Aegon launches adviser CPD hub
Pension and investments provider Aegon has launched a CPD hub for advisers to help them address ongoing regulatory challenges.
The provider created its CPD Hub in response to regulatory change topping adviser concerns according to a NextWealth survey.
A third (31%) of advisers identified regulatory influence as the main concern over the next three years, and (21%) of advisers believed regulatory influence would remain a top concern over the next five years.
Aegon’s said its new online hub aims to equip advisers with the necessary knowledge to navigate the complex, ever-changing regulatory environment.
The hub will host a library of learning resources which count towards meeting annual structured CPD goals. Once advisers have watched the video, they’ll need to answer the questions correctly to download their CPD certificate as proof of completion.
Topics covered for the launch of the hub include Consumer Duty, the latest proposals for regulatory change, and strategies to grow your business via client referrals.
Steven Cameron, pensions director at Aegon, said: “Whether it’s from the advice guidance boundary review, pension dashboards or the pensions value for money framework, our industry will likely see radical changes in the future. The political situation could also create further change around pension tax, with Labour threatening to reintroduce the Lifetime Allowance.
“To ensure that advisers have access to the most up-to-date information, the CPD Hub will be regularly updated with new material. These resources are specifically designed to assist advisers in their crucial role, enabling them to stay well-informed and effectively navigate the complex regulatory landscape for the benefit of their clients.”
Aegon’s CPD hub can be accessed on its website.
