Welcome to RIIA

RIIA is a national organization whose members are defining the future of retirement security in the United States. The vortex of innovation in the retirement income business, RIIA provides its members a non-biased forum for sharing information, strategies and research combined with unmatched opportunities to network with industry leaders.

What's the driving force behind the changes in the world of retirement income?

Demographics. The sheer force of the quantitative impact of demographics is affecting the qualitative aspects of the retirement income challenge. The market shift from Asset Accumulation to Income Generation is real. According to Merrill Lynch, the money-in-motion will reach $20 trillion or more!

Many consumers don't have access to the financial products and processes that match their needs and current Asset Accumulation products and processes are likely to be inadequate for the purpose of generating sufficient retirement income. Moreover, existing Income Generation products and processes may not have the capacity to meet the entire volume of the money-in-motion, meaning that it is uncertain if financial institutions such as insurance carriers can assume ever-increasing amounts of longevity risk. Each day the gap between present capacity and future needs grows wider, threatening the retirement security of a generation of Americans.

It is critical for the financial services industry to create new retirement income products and processes to meet the needs of the new retirees and to develop strategies for effectively communicating retirement income challenges and solutions to "Boomer" customers and beyond.
