SunGard has added the American Bankers Association’s professional development content on bank trust, estate planning and philanthropy to its Wealth Management University professional development and training program.

The additional content provides bank trust officers with the ability to expand their education on specific trust topics through access to courses offered from within SunGard Wealth Management University's web-based learning management platform.

The expanded curriculum includes multi-level courses on estate planning, investment management, trust administration, fiduciary law and income tax, discretionary distribution, managing trust accounts, financial planning, and life insurance and annuities.

“Wealth managers are looking for more efficient and cost-effective ways to deliver and manage the education and certification process for their staff," said Melissa Cullen, executive vice president of SunGard’s wealth management business.
