What is the RICP®?

The RICP® is a professional designation for financial advisors. Having the RICP^® designation means the advisor has a specialized education in retirement income planning and is committed to professional and ethical best practices.

Why is the RICP^® different?

Typically, financial advisors are trained to help clients accumulate wealth. But what happens in retirement?

It’s important for clients to preserve and manage the wealth they’ve accumulated, so it can sustain their lifestyle in retirement and beyond.

The RICP^® is a mark of certification that acknowledges that your advisor has the knowledge to help you build a retirement strategy that’s resilient and well-planned..

Why select an RICP^®?

If you are already retired, preparing to retire or plan to retire in the future, you need to select a well-trained, educated and qualified financial professional to help develop a retirement income plan that will help meet your needs.

When working with an RICP^®, you can feel confident that they’ve received specialized education in retirement income planning. This expertise can help guide you through the many considerations involved in making your resources last through retirement.

The mark of RICP^® is the property of The American College of Financial Services and may be used by individuals who have successfully completed the initial and ongoing certification requirements for this designation. The College can disallow use of the RICP^® if advisors do not adhere to the program’s ethical standards, continuing education, and other requirements.
