Grow Your Expertise and Your Business with the Retirement Management Analyst Designation This Summer

SiSign up today for Salem State University's 5-day in-class intensive seminar August 13-17, 2012 which prepares you to successfully earn the Retirement Management Analyst (RMA) designation. The RMA designation is a rigorous educational and ethics training program designed to prepare advisors in providing successful retirement income solutions to clients. The RMA is focused specifically on key concepts and practical applications of retirement income planning and management, as well as the construction of portfolios to support retirement income. It does not repeat - but goes beyond - the basics of retirement rules (IRAs, employer plans, etc.), investments and other retirement income products and services that are covered in many other traditional venues. Contact Salem State University, Professional and Community Enrichment Programs, for more information.

We will probe and question the status quo, share and discuss what's working and what's not among leading advisers and from experts across the industry, and help attendees see industry disruptions and opportunities before others do.

2012 Spring Conference Addressed Major Issues and Trends Around Trust, Demographics, and Innovation in the Retirement Income Industry.

"RIIA conferences are more eclectic and less parochial than others, as its motto - "the view across the silos" - would suggest. To be more precise: a more networking-driven mix of executives and entrepreneurs, political mavericks and compulsive students-of-the-income-game can't be found at any other conference in this space." - Kerry Pechter, editor, Retirement Income Journal.

Held at the Ibbotson/Morningstar Headquarters from March 19-20 in Chicago, IL, RIIA's 2012 Spring Conference brought together the innovators and leaders in the Defined Contribution arena and Retail Distribution who shared experiences, research findings, and real-world challenges in defining success in the retirement income industry.
