Webinars

The Retirement Income Industry Association, which is the licensing body of the Retirement Management Analyst Designation, was founded in 2006, and its mission is to bring advisors together with product manufacturers, distributors, academics, investors, and other stakeholders in the debate over providing Americans secure retirement income solutions.

While its mission is noble, financial advice professionals must determine whether RIIA will confuse consumers by adding to designation proliferation, and they must consider the influence product manufacturers and distributors could exert on RIIA.

At this session, Francois Gadenne, founder, chairman, and executive director of RIIA, explains why RIIA:

     • maintains close ties to product manufacturers
     • offers its own professional designation
     • uniquely prepares advisors to deliver retirement income solutions

Francois Gadenne, CFA, co-founded Rational Investors, an independent provider of investment education and advice products for the defined contribution market that in 1999 was sold to Standard & Poor's. He also co-founded Retirement Engineering, Inc. (REI), which designs insurance and investment products for those approaching retirement and is a co-inventor on REI patents. In addition to his entrepreneurial activities and role at RIIA, Gadenne since 2005 has been an adjunct professor at Boston University, teaching principles of finance.
