Second Course in FSRITM Designation Focuses on Retirement Plans and Products 

 

ATLANTA, GA, March 10, 2014 — The LOMA Secure Retirement Institute™ today announced the launch of the second course of  the Fellow, Secure Retirement Institute™ (FSRI™) designation program, Retirement Savings and Investments (SRI 121). 

"We designed Retirement Savings and Investments specifically for employees who support retirement plans and products in companies serving the retirement marketplace," said Katherine C. Milligan, FLMI, ACS, senior vice president of LOMA's Education and Training Division. "The new course takes a close look at various retail and institutional financial products used to save and invest for retirement, including employer-sponsored retirement plans, nonqualified annuities, investments and IRAs."

Like the first course, Retirement Marketplace (SRI 111), this course is delivered in a highly interactive online format. The contemporary, on-demand educational experience can be completed in seven to ten hours, a flexible and convenient benefit for the learner.

Retirement Marketplace and Retirement Savings and Investments represent two of the three courses required to attain the FSRI Level 1 — Certificate in Retirement Essentials. The Certificate program provides foundational knowledge and is an integral part of the comprehensive, broad-based FSRI program.  The third course in the certificate series is scheduled for launch this summer. 

"We are receiving excellent feedback on our FSRI courses. At least nine in ten students say the courses are engaging, easy to understand, and relevant to their job," noted Milligan.  "In fact, ninety-eight percent would recommend the courses, and nine in ten have plans to enroll in future FSRI courses."
