Financial Planner Oath
In the Spring 2010 issue of First Command’s Journey magazine, the company reiterated its commitment to the FPA Alliance program with the introduction of The Financial Planner Oath. Resembling in part the Hippocratic Oath, the document is intended help members of the financial planning industry publicly state their commitment to act in their client’s best interests at all times. The Financial Planner Oath is provided to new First Command Financial Advisors as part of their training, and the document is made available online to financial planners at other firms free of charge as a public service.

Famous quotes containing the words financial and/or oath:
“Because of these convictions, I made a personal decision in the 1964 Presidential campaign to make education a fundamental issue and to put it high on the nation’s agenda. I proposed to act on my belief that regardless of a family’s financial condition, education should be available to every child in the United States—as much education as he could absorb.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“Here I swear, and as I break my oath may ... eternity blast me, here I swear that never will I forgive Christianity! It is the only point on which I allow myself to encourage revenge.... Oh, how I wish I were the Antichrist, that it were mine to crush the Demon; to hurl him to his native Hell never to rise again—I expect to gratify some of this insatiable feeling in Poetry.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
