The RICP coursework is intended to help advisors to understand and execute "sustainable retirement income strategies" that include "best practices in Social Security claiming, evaluating and addressing risks faced in retirement [and] planning for long-term care needs," the College said in a statement.
"Ed Slott has educated millions on the second half of retirement planning — how to best help clients distribute their hard-earned retirement savings and navigate potential tax pitfalls," said George Nichols III, president and CEO of the college, in a statement. "Ed has a unique ability to communicate IRA complexities in comment-sense language."
