Every year on the first Wednesday in October, World Financial Planning Day is held to raise awareness about the importance of financial planning. The day also offers an opportunity for financial planning experts around the world to educate consumers on how to prepare for their financial future.

Each year, the global financial planning profession will comes together for World Financial Planning Day to help raise awareness of the value of financial planning, having a financial plan, and working with a financial planner who has committed to standards of competency and ethics and putting clients’ interests first.
