Investable assets are what you own that can easily be turned into cash and invested, such as bank accounts, stocks, mutual funds and bonds. Some financial advisors – especially those who charge clients a percentage of the assets under their management – require their clients to have a minimum amount of investable assets.

CFP Board Public Disciplinary History
Effective Date: 5/24/2021
In May 2021, the Disciplinary and Ethics Commission (Commission) and Ms. Jacobsen entered into a Consent Order in which Ms. Jacobsen agreed that CFP Board would issue a six-month suspension of her CFP® certification. In the Consent Order, Ms. Jacobsen consented to findings that she entered into a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (AWC) with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) finding that Ms. Jacobsen misused firm funds in December 2016 and January 2017 by using funds from her Alternative Flexible Grid Program Account at the firm in a manner inconsistent with the firm's permitted use of the funds. In the AWC, Ms. Jacobsen consented to a six-month suspension from association with any FINRA member in any capacity and a $5,000 fine. In the AWC, Ms. Jacobsen also consented to a finding that her actions, which resulted in her termination from the firm, violated FINRA Rule 2010. The FINRA suspension was effective from May 4, 2020 to November 3, 2020. Pursuant to the Consent Order, Ms. Jacobsen consented to findings that her conduct violated Rule 5.1 of the Rules of Conduct, which provides that a certificant who is an employee/agent shall perform professional services with dedication to the lawful objectives of the employer/principal, and Rule 6.5 of the Rules of Conduct, which states that a certificant shall not engage in conduct which reflects adversely on his or her integrity or fitness as a certificant, upon the CFP® marks, or upon the profession, providing grounds for sanction. Accordingly, the Commission issued to Ms. Jacobsen a six-month suspension of her CFP® certification effective May 24, 2021.

Disclosure Information
Below are links to additional sources of information about CFP® professionals that may contain information that has not led to CFP Board discipline or does not appear on CFP Board’s website.

About Bankruptcies
Effective June 30, 2020, CFP Board may publicly sanction a CFP® professional for a personal or business bankruptcy that violates CFP Board’s Code of Ethics and Standards of Conduct. (There is no violation if the CFP® professional can make a case that the bankruptcy does not reflect on the professional’s ability to responsibly manage his or her own financial affairs or the financial affairs of the business.) You can find public sanctions in the “CFP Board Public Disciplinary History.” Under the “Prior Bankruptcy Disclosure Procedures” that applied from July 2012 – June 2020, CFP Board published information about a CFP® professional’s verified single bankruptcy in a press release and on CFP Board’s website. These were disclosures, not discipline or sanctions, and remain on CFP Board’s website for 10 years. You may learn more about the disclosure procedures here. You can learn more information about a bankruptcy filing at the U.S. Court’s website. You will be required to register and pay a nominal fee to view the information on that website.
