New thinking for a new profession


Governed by Principles of Practice

 

Clients seek advisers who belong to a professional association and abide by a strict Code of Conduct. The AFA Code of Conduct is based on six guiding principles that govern our member's professional practice. 

 

AFA Awards for Excellence

 

We believe that recognising excellence is integral to building a strong profession. Each year the AFA, together with our partners, announce five prestigious awards for quality advice and an award for Life Company of the Year.
