WASHINGTON,
June 27, 2017
/PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The CFP Board Center for
Financial Planning, in collaboration with TD Ameritrade
Institutional, today announced that it is seeking submissions for
the first in a series of Best Paper Awards that will be presented
at the Center's second annual Academic Research
Colloquium for Financial Planning and Related
Disciplines in Washington, D.C., on February 20-22, 2018.
The TD Ameritrade Institutional Best
Paper Award for Behavioral Finance will recognize
research papers that bring psychological insight into human
behavior and decision-making with implications for financial
planning practice.
Building on the success of last February's inaugural
event, the 2018 Colloquium will gather the global academic
community to showcase rigorous and relevant research within
financial planning and related disciplines that directly or
indirectly relates to financial planning practice and the body of
knowledge.
"It's increasingly clear that understanding how human
behavior affects investment decisions is critical for financial
planners. That's why we want to create more opportunities for
research that will equip them to better guide clients in making
more prudent financial decisions," said Kate Healy, Managing Director, Generation Next,
TD Ameritrade Institutional. "We are pleased to again sponsor the
Center's Best Paper Award in Behavioral Finance as we seek to
advance the profession and elevate its understanding of how clients
truly think about their finances."
As the Lead Founding Sponsor of the Center for Financial
Planning, TD Ameritrade Institutional is supporting the Colloquium
and sponsoring the Best Paper Award in the discipline of behavioral
finance. The Best Paper Award carries with it a $2,500 cash prize that will be awarded at the
Colloquium to the author of the winning paper. Additional Best
Paper Awards – and their sponsors – will be announced at later
dates leading up to the Colloquium.
"As the 2017 Best Paper Award winners demonstrate,
groundbreaking empirical research is being conducted in financial
planning and related disciplines today," said
Marilyn Mohrman-Gillis, Executive
Director of the Center for Financial Planning.
"We are grateful for TD Ameritrade
Institutional's continued participation in this vital work to
expand our profession's body of knowledge, and look forward to
recognizing exceptional research at our 2018
Colloquium."

submission reviewed anonymously by at least two peer reviewers.
