The Investment Program Association announced today that the organization is changing its name to the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives.
“The Institute for Portfolio Alternatives stands committed to a dynamic future, where portfolio diversifying investments play an important role in the retirement income needs of everyday investors,” said Tony Chereso, president and CEO of the IPA. “Our new name is symbolic of our industry’s continued evolution and the Institute’s unwavering commitment to bringing all stakeholders together to build relationships rooted in education and advocacy to propel the industry forward.”
For more than 35 years, the IPA has championed portfolio diversification on behalf of retail investors. As the portfolio diversifying investment (PDI) industry evolves, the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives will continue to provide national leadership by bringing together key players — new and established — who are dedicated to driving innovation and transparency in the marketplace to meet investor needs and demands.
