RIIA, Retirement Income Group, Updates Website

By registering on the site, users can post comments and provide perspective on articles, contribute to the RMA Discussion Forum and add retirement-related events on the calendar. RIIA members and supporters can list their company’s information directly on the site.

“The site will serve as a focal point for the extensive networks and relationships we have developed over the last decade,” added Gadenne. “Over time, we expect it to become an increasingly important resource for retirement industry professionals for perspective, validated retirement planning knowledge, tools and concepts, practice management, and innovative ideas from both RIIA, its members and website contributors.”

The non-profit Retirement Income Industry Association was formed in 2005 and relies on the “View Across the Silos” approach to the achievement of better retirement outcomes.

In the fall, it hosts its annual conference and — in cooperation with Research magazine for financial advisors — present the yearly Achievement in Applied Retirement Research Award.

Last year’s winner was Brigitte Madrian, the Aetna professor of public policy and corporate management at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government. Her recent research has focused on boosting 401(k) participation and was featured in the September issue of the publication.
