"The Invested Life” Launches Season 2, Announces New Cast Lineup

TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation ("TD Ameritrade”) (NASDAQ: AMTD) announces the launch of the second season of "The Invested Life,” an online reality series featuring real people facing some of today's most common financial challenges – including debt management, college savings, retirement planning, taxes, real estate and smart investing.

"The Invested Life" airs for three seasons over a nine-month period. The series and site experience were developed by MSN and Ogilvy Entertainment. Episodes of the second season of "The Invested Life,” including financial planning tools, advice from independent financial experts and blog postings from cast members, can be found at http://TheInvestedLife.msn.com.

The online series, which is sponsored by TD Ameritrade, pairs everyday investors with independent financial experts who help them take control of their finances. The program is supported with online videos, news stories, financial tools and resources, cast blogs and community forums that encourage viewers to engage with cast members, learn from their experiences and ultimately take action for themselves. Cast members include real people from a variety of locations across America, each facing a different financial situation.

Cast members to be featured in the latest season of "The Invested Life” include:

• The Opinion Seekers – Steven Long & Wendy Smith of Portland, Ore. earn a high salary and have little problem saving money, but the bulk of their income is deposited into savings accounts and not building wealth. They’re seeking coaching on how to properly balance their accounts.
• The Semi-Pro – Tom Stanley of Chicago invested over $500,000 in the stock market – but lost nearly everything when the dot-com bubble burst. He‘s looking for a coach to guide him and to help his wife, Kristen, who hopes to learn more about the family’s finances.
• The DIY-er – Melanie Kuhr of Dallas needs a little help streamlining and executing a plan for financial independence for herself and her children following a tough divorce from her college sweetheart.
• The Player – Dan Nainan of New York needs to approach his finances from two fronts: diversify and develop the nearly $300,000 in his own actively managed portfolio while optimizing his LLC/career, and as executor of the family estate, prepare for his new responsibilities involving his parents' trust.
• The Rookies – Kiel & Megan Pighetti of Denver are a young couple who want to establish strong financial foundations to allow their family to grow comfortably. They’re debt-free and confident about their financial future, but need coaching for strategies they can rely on.
• The Planner – For Judith Kelch of Miami, the past two years have been difficult after the sudden death of her husband, followed by a big hit in the stock market. These events have motivated Judith to educate herself about her finances and take the reins.
• The Adventurer – Joshua Steen of Los Angeles is knowledgeable about money, but needs guidance to figure out how to make his money work for him both in the short- and long-term. He is young, so there's no better time than now.

And research shows that the timing has never been better for these individuals to seek financial guidance. A new survey released by TD Ameritrade found that 71 percent of investors agree that the economic events of the past two years have compelled them to learn more about managing their money.

"Investors are re-evaluating their approaches when it comes to money and investing, which makes a program such as "The Invested Life” all the more relevant to the changing needs and attitudes of today’s investors,” said Stuart Rubinstein, managing director of client engagement, TD Ameritrade, Inc. "They’ve learned from their mistakes and other life experiences and are now taking action to better help them prepare for the future.”
