"Up until now there hasn't been any formal training available to teach advisors the important differences between planning for accumulation and planning for retirement income. The RMA® program is changing that. They developed a specialized curriculum one studies to become an RMA, or Retirement Management Advisor®. The material is fabulous and offers a tremendous amount of insight into the difference between accumulating assets and 'decumulating' assets."
