Klein Decisions Launches Two Blogs

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC – January 4, 2010 – Klein Decisions, Inc., a leader in innovative investment decision software, introduced two blogs hosted at their website. Both provide timely information for financial professionals.

Retire Well

Sixty million people participate in retirement plans that require them to save their own money and direct their own investments. For many, this is the largest investment they will ever manage and more importantly,  the decisions they make today will determine how well they finance their retirement years. Bob Padgette, founder and Managing Director of Klein Decisions, Inc., draws on his 25 years of experience working with clients and other professionals in the financial industry to bring you his analysis and insight into how advisors and fiduciaries can best help plan participants reach their retirement goals. In addition to being a CFA Charter Holder and Certified Investment Management Analyst (CIMA), Bob is also a member of the Methodology Committee for the Retirement Income Industry Association (RIA). Retire Well can be found at the Klein Decisions Homepage or at retirewell.kleindecisons.com.

Investment Insights

There's more to client profiling than simply asking 5-6 general questions, averaging the answers, and putting all clients in a balanced portfolio while mutual fund evaluation is more than just counting stars or a process of elimination. This blog is designed to assist investment professionals seeking ways to improve their portfolio recommendations as well as their mutual fund evaluation and monitoring processes. Ted Ponko, CFA, CEBS, uses his 23 years of experience working with funds, clients, and their portfolios to offer informative analysis and suggestions. Investment Insights can be found at the Klein Decisions Homepage or at investmentinsight.kleindecisons.com.

Both blogs offer readers the opportunity to give feedback and participate in related discussions. "It's our hope," said Padgette,"that through these blogs we can help our clients and others in the financial community make sense out of an oftentimes puzzling investment scene."
