IFP sponsor JP Morgan Asset Management is holding CPD workshops for advisers working towards their Statement of Professional Standing.

The structured and accredited workshops are suitable for advisers and Paraplanners and aim to help firms ‘maintain a sustainable competitive advantage’.

The three-hour workshops are divided into market insights, client insights and business insights.

Market Insights will educate the adviser on financial concepts, Client Insights will explore client behaviour and improving communication styles while business insights will show how business owners and principals can develop their business.

Workshops will take place from 20 June to 12 July in Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Knutsford, London and Newmarket from 9am-1pm.

The firm is also running its third set of gap-filling workshops which have been running since January.

Delegates have been able to attend all three sessions or pick which one is most relevant to their needs.
