Defaqto's publications have been recognised as contributing to continuing professional development (CPD) by the Institute of Financial Planning (IFP).
The independent financial research company issues a range of free publications for advisers, which are focused on helping intermediaries stay informed and up-to-date on key regulatory changes, industry movements, product trends and macro-economic factors.
These are now formally recognised and accredited by the IFP as a source of continuing professional development for its members.
Sue Leech, education director at the IFP, said: "We welcome the addition of high quality learning materials into the range of options we have accredited for use by IFP members.
"Maintaining appropriate CPD is the hallmark of a professional, and I am sure that IFP members will value the addition of these publications which will help them to keep their knowledge and information up to date."

• Platforms
