LITTLETON, Colo., June 23 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Association of Active Investment Managers (NAAIM) announced today that it has elected Renee Toth, Executive Vice President of Flexible Plan Investments Ltd., to lead the non-profit money management trade group as Chairman of the Board for 2010-2011, following her tenure as the group's President.

As NAAIM's Chairman, Toth will guide the Board's direction for the organization's growth, membership recruitment through regional meetings, services and representation of active managers in the investment industry. NAAIM is an association of some 200 registered investment advisors providing active money management services to produce favorable risk-adjusted returns for clients. Flexible Plan Investments, where Toth has been for 19 years, is one of NAAIM's founding member firms.

"I'm excited about the opportunity to lead NAAIM with the help of its board into new areas in the coming year," said Toth, who oversees Flexible Plan's trading, client services and sales and marketing operations. "With both recent and current market conditions, NAAIM has stood apart from the market debacle that has affected almost the entire investment industry," said Toth. "Active asset management has proven to be the bright star through this market retreat, and NAAIM members have the returns and happy clients to prove it."

Toth added that she plans to build on recent NAAIM initiatives, such as the forging and further development of NAAIM's Active Mutual Fund (AMF) Index and the organization's annual NAAIM Wagner Award for Advancements of Active Investment Management competition.
