CFPCM is an internationally recognised mark owned by the Financial Planning Standards Board in the USA and awarded in New Zealand by Financial Advice New Zealand. Royden is currently on the board of the TripleA (Advisers Association).
Always moving towards the far professional end of the spectrum, he was one of the first advisers in New Zealand to be authorised by the Financial Markets Authority as AFA (Authorised Financial Adviser). When there was no suitable off the shelf alternative Royden instead designed the financial modelling software that Echelon use to help their clients.
