A quick disclosure about our CEFEX Certification:

CEFEX is an independent global assessment and certification organization. It works closely with investment fiduciaries and industry experts to provide comprehensive assessment programs to improve risk management for institutional and retail investors. CEFEX certification helps determine the trustworthiness of investment fiduciaries. CEFEX provides an independent recognition of a firm's conformity to a defined Standard of Practice. It implies that a firm can demonstrate adherence to the industry's best practices and is positioned to earn the public's trust. This registration serves investors who require assurance that their investments are being managed according to commonly accepted best practices. CEFEX assessment is based on the international standard, ISO 19011: Guideline for quality management system auditing. The assessment is evidence-based, and all work is reviewed by the CEFEX Registration Committee to ensure impartiality and consistency. The assessment includes document review, client file sampling, on-site visits, a background check and interviews with senior executives at the firm. The assessment is conducted by CEFEX Analysts who must hold the Accredited Investment Fiduciary Analyst® designation and maintain annual training by CEFEX. The assessment methodology includes attorney-developed schedules based on regulation.
 
Cedar Point Capital Partners (CPCP) pays an annual assessment and registration fee in order to be considered for CEFEX certification. CEFEX independently sets their assessment methodology and CPCP has no influence on the criteria.
