Abstract: Recent controversies concerning personal financial planners, and investment planners in particular, have centered around two issues: competence and ethics. This paper has focused on the ethical development of a sample of investment planners in connection with the correlative roles of professionalization and compensation sources. Certified Financial Planner designees were found to manifest higher ethical development scores than non-Certified Financial Planner designees. Fee-based planners manifested no significantly different ethical development scores than their counterparts. Other demographic variables were also studied. © 1999 Elsevier Science Inc.
