Master’s Advisors is proud to announce that Lyle Hershey, CFP®, CLU®, RICP®, has earned the Retirement Income Certified Professional® (RICP®) designation from The American College of Financial Services.

From The American College of Financial Services, “The RICP® educational curricula is the most complete and comprehensive program available to professional financial advisors looking to help their clients create sustainable retirement income. The rigorous three-course credential helps advisors master retirement income planning, a key focus area not fully covered in other professional designation programs. From retirement portfolio management techniques and mitigation of plan risks to the proper use of annuities, employer-sponsored benefits and determining the best Social Security claiming age, the RICP® provides a wealth of practical information for advisors. Candidates for the RICP® designation must complete a minimum of three advanced college-level courses and pass six hours of proctored examinations in order to earn the credential.”

Many of our clients have experienced the benefit of Master’s Income Architecture, our in-house retirement income planning process. Lyle’s completion of the RICP® designation brings another new level of proficiency to the Master’s team in the retirement income planning arena. We are committed to learning and growing in all areas of the ever-changing financial planning landscape as we continue to build holistic financial plans for our clients.  Please congratulate Lyle on this accomplishment the next time you see him.
