InFRE® Course Series on Managing Retirement Income
Managing Retirement Income (MRI): Positioning financial professionals to serve the growing retirement income market
How can I make my retirement income last as long as I live?
It’s a question financial advisors hear more and more as Baby Boomers come of retirement age. To provide a sufficient response, however, advisors must know how to guide current and future retirees through a maze of sometimes contradictory information. They need to understand the challenges of managing income so it lasts over an indefinite length of time and expense. They must be able to tailor their advice to the unique circumstances of each individual.
The Managing Retirement Income Course Series helps meet these needs by bringing expert knowledge and sound planning techniques to financial service professionals who want to develop a mastery of the income management segment of the retirement market.
Who should take InFRE’s MRI courses?
The MRI courses are designed to benefit all financial professionals, including registered representatives, insurance professionals, financial planners, CPAs, and retirement advisors with a basic understanding of retirement planning and investment principles who want to increase their knowledge about risks and other issues relating to retirement income planning, and who want to learn a process for helping retirees convert retirement assets into lifetime income.
Why these courses?
There are 41 million people between the ages of 62 and 82 facing the challenge of managing their money so they can maintain a desired lifestyle throughout retirement. Longer life expectancy, rising health care costs, market fluctuation and inflation make this an increasingly difficult challenge for all but the wealthiest individuals.
The Managing Retirement Income course is a workshop developed to help advisors determine the best solutions for their clients. The course covers:
The six-step process to create a retirement income plan
The four greatest risks retirees face and the tools to manage them
How to identify and manage a client’s total retirement assets
Why traditional income calculations and assumptions are inadequate
How to assess a particular client’s income needs and preferences
When and how to liquidate assets
Tax and income distribution issues advisors should know about
How to create secure income that lasts a lifetime
The tax consequences of different decisions and approaches
How to tailor an income management plan to individual clients
Managing retirement income is a complex task with no single solution or “one size fits all” strategy. InFRE’s retirement income approach reflects this awareness by providing advisors with the tools to give client’s and prospects the options and decision-making guidelines to best meet their personal circumstances.
This leading-edge material is available in various formats and course lengths to meet the professional development needs of a variety of individuals, ranging from support staff that just need familiarity with concepts, to retirement advisors who need in-depth training on how to create and implement retirement income strategies for clients.
Introduction to Managing Retirement Income
Introduction to Managing Retirement Income Elearning CourseThe Introduction to Managing Retirement Income elearning course is designed to help advisors and retirement counselors recognize how retirement distribution planning is different from retirement accumulation planning. Participants will be introduced to the challenges of managing income over a period of uncertain length and expense, as well as how the definition of risk changes during retirement. One take-away solution summarized during the course is that the answer to retirement income management is not just “asset allocation,” but also “income allocation.”

The Client “Managing Your Retirement Income” Educational Marketing Workshop
This 60 minute workshop is a highly-relevant and practical educational marketing workshop for clients and prospects who want to know, “When and how should I take income from my retirement savings?” With longer life expectancies, rising health care costs, and fluctuating retirement savings values, generating a continuous income stream is an increasingly difficult challenge for all but the most well-prepared. Clients need to understand the challenges they will face before they retire in order to make informed decisions about when to retire and how to take distributions from their pension, defined contribution plans, IRAs and other personal retirement savings.
Likewise, retirement advisors and counselors need an objective educational marketing workshop that teaches pre-retirees what they need to know to make a successful transition to retirement and manage their income so that they can productively and suitably help clients and prospects experience a retirement as beneficial and personally rewarding as they had hoped.This unique workshop includes a scripted PowerPoint presentation, 25 participant workbooks a recording of a workshop presentation and an evaluation form.

InFRE has provided over 50 pre-conference sessions for public sector national and state association conferences over the last 20 years on the topics of retirement planning, retirement administration, and retirement income planning.
We’ve seen a lot change in public sector plans during that time, such as:
State and local pensions reducing and/or cost-sharing benefits with employees.
In order to better govern the plan, decisionmakers of both public sector DB and DC plans need help understanding the decisions and actions members now have to make beyond when to receive their retirement benefits to become retirement secure.
Trustees/board members are being called to a high level of governance and fiduciary responsibility.
Some states requiring trustees and boards to maintain a minimum level of initial and continuing retirement education.
Professional development courses built on expert knowledge and sound planning techniques based on the decisions your members now need to make will help your decision-makers develop an understanding of retirement readiness, planning and income management approaches to improve governance of the plan, build member trust, and increase plan utilization.
In order to help you meet the evolving needs of your members and bolster your leadership’s professionalism, InFRE can provide a revenue shared pre-conference, two-day Certificate Series program in partnership with your organization as a value-add for those attending your conference.
Day One includes retirement readiness, investments, plan design and retirement income planning.
Day Two includes plan design, investing, operations, compliance, ethics and fiduciary responsibility.
