It was during a family sojourn to the seaside town of Pescara, Italy, Rob DeDominicis first laid eyes on what would become the harbinger of his future. Andrew McKean writes.
The CSSA's website states that it endorses the Financial Planning Association (FPA's) six principles for financial planner remuneration. Given that the FPA are on board w/ the FoFA provisions, where does this leave this Association's claim for special treatment?
