About the Challenge

Build strong retirement management habits, strategies and techniques.

This academic commitment isn’t for everyone. It will take determination, perseverance, and grit. It was designed for competitive professionals looking to challenge themselves.

The final step in your spring RMA challenge culminates with a rigorous exam.* As a reward, you will earn bragging rights as a retirement expert! Upon passing the exam, you will be able to proudly showcase your RMA® credentials. So, get ready to push yourself.
