Retirement Planning Challenging the Status Quo‚ a conversation with Invest n Retire® CEO Darwin Abrahamson‚ published in suite101.com‚ Nov 4‚ 2009‚ “Invest n Retire’s system for managing tax deferred retirement plans was designed specifically for trading ETFs‚” said INR’s founder and CEO Darwin Abrahamson.
As a pioneer in the retirement industry‚ INR designed a system which cost-effectively trades ETFs. In addition to lowering costs and thereby increasing retirement savings‚ INR seeks to decrease the plan sponsor’s fiduciary responsibility by transferring the fiduciary duties of selecting and managing the plan’s investment options to prudent experts. To assist plan sponsors‚ INR has endorsed the DALBAR ERISA 3(38) Due Diligence Program offered through DALBAR‚ Inc. Investment managers may go through the program to become certified 3(38) investment managers.
Darwin obtained the designation of Certified Financial Planner® in 1987.
