Retirement gets a deeper dive

As you can probably guess by the launch of our RPA supplement, InvestmentNews is stepping up its game when it comes to producing compelling editorial content for financial advisers who serve retirement plan sponsors and participants.

InvestmentNews‘ Retirement Plan Adviser will feature insightful stories on the issues and trends that affect plan advisers, as well as commentary from industry thought leaders. As the role and business of retirement plan advisers shifts dramatically, InvestmentNews‘ Retirement Plan Adviser will help financial advisers better serve existing clients — and, importantly, attract new ones.

As a new quarterly supplement produced by InvestmentNews‘ team of reporters and editors, Retirement Plan Adviser will build on the rich and varied content the magazine has covered in recent years in the retirement plan adviser market. Much of that content will be produced by InvestmentNews reporter Greg Iacurci, who has been writing almost exclusively about the retirement plan advice market since late last year.

In addition, InvestmentNews has recruited a nationally recognized expert in the retirement plan advice market to help guide its efforts. Fred Barstein, who was the driving force behind the launch of NAPA Net in 2012 as the founding editor-in-chief and NAPA Net the Magazine in 2013, has recently joined us as a contributing editor to help Greg and me to develop editorial content and initiatives aimed at retirement plan advisers.

In addition to editorial content, InvestmentNews will produce events and research aimed at helping plan advisers better serve existing clients and attract new ones.

This is an exciting initiative here at InvestmentNews, one that has been in the works for nearly a year. We look forward to covering the retirement plan advice market and being a part of its growth.
