RISA® stands for Retirement Income Style Awareness®
The plans you keep are the ones you believe in.
Your plans for retirement are no different,
but what is your personal retirement income style?
The good news: You’ve been defining it your entire career.
The hard truth: It can be extremely difficult to define it in any meaningful and actionable terms. UNTIL NOW!
The RISA® is the first financial personality assessment that identifies your retirement income style and implementation approach.

The RISA® is the first financial personality assessment that identifies your retirement income style and implementation approach.
Think of it as a free counseling session between you and your retirement income plan.
At the end of the session (generally only 15 minutes of your time), you get a clear set of results defining how you would like to source your retirement income and a planning strategy that fits your preferences.

How it works:
The Retirement Income Style Awareness® Profile, the RISA®, is a series of questions asked to help identify your true retirement preferences. Once completed, your results can help you (or your advisor) define strategies that match your personality closer than ever before.
It examines the decision-making factors that you consider important among the various retirement income options and identifies your best fit. Your RISA® Profile takes the best that psychology and financial planning have to offer.
