Retirement Management Journal^SM

Designed to promote research, scholarship, and innovative thinking on retirement management topics.

The Retirement Management Journal^SM (RMJ^SM) is a peer-reviewed publication that benefits from RIIA's "View Across the Silos" to centralize retirement income and retirement management articles. Currently these articles are published in "silo-specific" publications. This makes them hard to find and little read by the retirement-focused Financial Advisors who are most in need of the thinking and practice sharing. RMJ^SM articles and papers contribute to broadening and deepening the industry's body of knowledge for retirement income and retirement management.

The 2011 inaugural issue of the RMJ^SM is currently available and includes the winning submission for the Practitioner Thought Leadership Award. You can access your free introductory copy from the RMJ^SM website.

The RMJ^SM will accept papers for submission with the goal of making the magazine thought provoking, stimulating, practical, inspirational and sometimes controversial. Learn more about the Authors' Guidelines.

In addition, the RMJ^SM serves as required reading for those people who have achieved the RMA^SM advanced designation to earn continuing education credits. Learn more about the RMA^SM .

Thought Leadership Awards

The Thought Leadership Awards program recognizes authors of papers who demonstrate excellence in original thinking and industry leadership. It consists of two categories:

• Practitioner Thought Leadership Award - Practitioner authors may range from financial advisors to product development managers to marketing communications experts.

• Academic Thought Leadership Award - Scholars may include academics from across the realm of educational institutions.

Each award winner will be rewarded with $5,000 and their work will be published in the new RMJ^SM.

The RMJ^SM and the Thought Leadership Awards are sponsored by Allianz Global Investors (AGI), a firm recognized for its support of academic research in the fields of retirement income and investment strategies for pensions and retirement.

The deadline for authors to submit articles to be considered for the Summer issue is April 15, 2012.
