CUNA Brokerage Services will utilize three of Forefield’s web-based applications:

• Forefield Advisor™:  a sales, education, and client communication tool that enables financial advisors to deliver current, concise and compliant resources to their clients. Forefield Advisor provides access to more than 3,000 resources made up of more than 2,300 articles, 200 illustrations and tables, 200 interactive calculators, and more than 400 presentations.

Forefield's online interface tracks the date that an advisor successfully completes a test and automatically notifies the CFP Board of Standards, assuring the advisor's credits will be included in the Continuing Education Reporting Form.
