PLANADVISER Top Retirement Plan Advisers 2023 – The PLANADVISER Top Retirement Plan Advisers recognition is based solely on self-reported quantitative data about an adviser’s practice, including number of retirement plan assets under advisement, number of plans under advisement, and percentage of business coming from defined benefit, 403(b), nonqualified plans and other plan types. Because this recognition is based solely on quantitative figures, there is no judging or subjective measurement. The period used for consideration for award recognition is typically the previous calendar year. The Top Retirement Plan Advisers are selected by choosing the approximate top third of advisers that submit entries annually. Minimum Criteria for consideration: Majority of business conducted is in retirement plans, and acceptable compliance record. Neither advisory firms nor their employees pay a fee in exchange for this award. The rating is not indicative of the applicant’s future performance.
2022 NAPA Top DC Advisor Team – Established in 2017, nominees had to be individual advisor team/offices with a defined contribution book of business in a single physical location. To be considered, firms had to submit responses to an application form, including information about their practices, notably their defined contribution (DC) assets under advisement. The list is created and conducted by the National Association of Plan Advisors, an affiliate organization of the American Retirement Association, a non-profit association. In 2022, 438 applications were submitted and 430 were on the final list. The rating is not indicative of the Advisor’s future performance. No fee is charged to participate.
