Certified Affluent Wealth Adviser (CAWA)

Programme Overview

This Certified Affluent Wealth Adviser (CAWA) programme is designed as a pioneering programme for wealth or insurance advisers serving the affluent segment (suggested AUM of SGD$350k – SGD$1.5 mil). A mix of changing client-adviser expectations amidst increased digital adoption have combined to put pressure on the traditional approaches adopted by a wealth or insurance adviser.

 

The shift away from a product-centric model to one that focuses on the client’s financial and investment planning needs means that wealth or insurance advisers must adapt and rise to the challenge of supporting their clients more holistically in the new era.

 

This programme has been developed to help participants adopt a differentiated approach to their client interactions. Through this programme, the wealth or insurance adviser will understand how to profile their customers and recommend appropriate solutions to them. They will learn how to approach affluent clients using insurance solutions as a means for wealth transfer, wealth diversification, and accumulation.

  • Differentiated Client Interactions: Participants will develop skills to adopt a differentiated approach in their client interactions, enhancing their ability to meet the unique needs of affluent clients.
