Meet the team behind the Financial Wellbeing Pulse.
One of the main features of the Pulse is the academic rigour with which it was developed.
Chris Budd was a financial planner and wrote the original Financial Wellbeing Book in 2015, before founding the Institute for Financial Wellbeing in 2019.
The Institute of Financial Wellbeing holds regular events and conferences, plus training courses. The Financial Wellbeing Certificate has helped hundreds of financial advisers refocus their advice to be on helping their clients to be happier, not just wealthier.
