Maryville, Tenn. – Kevin Painter, managing partner of Alcoa-based LeConte Wealth Management, has been awarded the Accredited Investment Fiduciary® (AIF®) designation from Fiduciary360 (fi360), an organization offering training, tools and resources to promote a culture of fiduciary responsibility and improve the decision-making processes of fiduciaries.
Fiduciary responsibility can be defined as the ethical and/or legal relationship of confidence or trust between two or more parties. The AIF designation signifies knowledge of fiduciary responsibility and the ability to implement policies and procedures that meet a defined standard of care. The designation is the culmination of a two-day course and examination.
“The AIF designation will allow me to consult with retirement plan trustees and business owners on their fiduciary responsibility to their employees,” Painter said.
Fi360, based near Pittsburgh, Pa., is the first full-time training and research facility for fiduciaries and conducts training programs at universities throughout the United States and abroad.
