Awarded by Fi360, the AIFA certification states that “having satisfied all requirements for certification,” Marin Borja Ada is hereby authorized to use the AIFA marks “with all the rights and privileges pertaining thereto for as long as the aforementioned remains in good standing.”
Fi360 is a company that helps financial intermediaries “use prudent fiduciary practices to profitably gather, grow and protect investors’ assets.”

In the CNMI, Phillip Mendola-Long was the first MPLT trustee to receive AIFA designation. Ada is the second.
A “fiduciary” is someone who is managing the assets of another person and stands in a special relationship of trust, confidence, and/or legal responsibility. A fiduciary is required by law to always act in the best interests of their client, beneficiary, or retirement plan participant. AIFA designees have acquired a thorough knowledge of fiduciary responsibility and can be an invaluable resource to investment fiduciaries and individual investors alike.
