Trust Advisors Institute (TAI)

Trust Advisors Institute (TAI) is an exceptional educational opportunity—whether you’re a seasoned veteran looking to “brush up” on current practices and policies, or a newcomer seeking a comprehensive overview of the issues in your field.

As its name suggests, TAI originated as a program for bank trust officers, and it retains a strong focus on the fiduciary side of the trust and wealth management industry. It also offers value to managers and other employees of investment firms, trust companies, credit unions, RIA’s, accounting and law firms, retirement plan providers, supervisory agencies and non-profit administrators.
