Hi,
Both stock market professionals and financial planners sell investment advice and financial products to investors, but there are many differences in their status, compensation and the way they do business, although these differences are becoming increasingly blurred.
*Stock Market Professional-
These are also called registered representatives, work for broker-dealers or brokerage houses. Traditionally, their role was to facilitate, or broker, customer transactions in financial products such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds. They were compensated by charging a commission on products and services sold.
To become a stockbroker, one has to successfully pass courses offered at NSE and BSE and thereafter become a member with Stock Exchange Board of India.
*Financial Planner-
The concept of financial planning is to coordinate various aspects of clients' financial affairs such as investments, insurance and retirement planning to help them achieve their financial goals by maximizing returns and minimizing risks. The financial planning industry is much less regulated: virtually anyone can call themselves a financial planner and charge a fee for the service, although a Certified Financial Planner, CFP, designation is becoming a more widely acceptable industry standard.
CFP is a professional designation that has to be earned by going through a rigorous examination process, which raises the bar for financial planning practitioners.
*Principal Differences-
A stockbroker must be employed by a broker-dealer - a securities firm that facilitates trading in various financial instruments. A financial planner can be self-employed or work for an independent financial planning firm that may or may not be affiliated with a securities firm.
An investor must have a brokerage account to buy or sell securities. Even if he is using the services of a financial planner, he still has to have an account at a brokerage firm.
Stockbroker commission-structured compensation has long been viewed as a conflict of interest because it encourages frequent trading in customer accounts to generate commissions, which may not always be in clients' best interests. Financial planners avoid the conflict by charging a fee for their services that is either fixed or based on assets under management.
