(live-PR.com) - - AIM Investments announced today it has become a member of the Retirement Income Industry Association (RIIA) in support of the association's work with financial consultants to help provide secure retirement income for millions of Americans.
"We're committed to providing ongoing assistance to financial advisors whose clients are shifting their investment goals from wealth accumulation to income generation during
their retirement years," said John Cooper, Head of U.S. Sales for AIM Investments. "Being a part of an organization like RIIA underscores AIM's leadership role in defining the future of retirement security."
AIM believes the key to a prosperous retirement is a practical investment strategy. Working with a financial advisor becomes even more critical for investors as longevity increases and retirement savings need to last longer.
"We are pleased that AIM supports our efforts to address the future retirement needs of our population," said Francois Gadenne, RIIA's Founding Chairman and President and CEO of Retirement Engineering, Inc.
