Ethics and the Client Experience (ECE)

 

What You Will Learn

Students will acquire a high level of technical knowledge of ethical standards. They will also have a refined understanding of how to effectively communicate with clients in a variety of situations, such as how to:

  • Illustrate the communication process
  • Interpret the different forms of non-verbal communication
  • Demonstrate effective communication behaviors
  • Describe the size and demographics of the wealth transfer market
  • Describe some of the issues, attitudes and controversies regarding intergenerational transfer of wealth
  • Discuss the various opportunities for wealth transfer with your client in a sensitive manner
  • Identify the emotional issues involved in wealth transfer and the family
  • Outline a three-phase approach which may be used by advisors in discussions with clients and their families
  • Apply different methods of questioning to foster discussion, and avoid or manage family conflict
  • Apply the appropriate communication skills when dealing with beneficiaries and grieving and incapacitated clients
  • Explain the particular needs of the elderly
  • Describe how the psychological, social and neurological changes occur with aging affect the decisions made by your clients
  • Identify and apply ethical concepts to client situations
  • Distinguish between the concepts of trust, agency and fiduciary duty

ECE is one of the requirements for CSI's MTI® Estate and Trust Professional designation. It can also be taken as a stand-alone course.

Approximate Hours of Study**
Hours of Study 20 - 30 hours

** In order to provide some guidance to course participants as to the length of time it will take to be sufficiently prepared to write the final examination, CSI has prepared this estimate of the number of hours an average participant could possibly expect to spend studying for a course. Please note that these are only recommended hours of study developed based on research and our course content, however, this does not mean that some students with exceptional backgrounds would not take less time than recommended or that students with no background at all in finance or economics would not take longer than the maximum.
