The NAPA Top DC Advisor Team list highlights the nation’s leading retirement plan advisor firms. Sure, we know it’s not just about the numbers – but the reality is that NAPA members are having a huge impact every single day, not just on the quality of retirement plan advice, but also in building a more financially secure retirement for millions of Americans. Unlike other lists, this focuses on teams, broadly defined as being in a single physical location, and having at least $100 million in DC assets under advisement. It is based on self-reported assets under advisement as of December 31, 2018, unless otherwise noted. We appreciate the commitment and hard work of the teams acknowledged – and are proud to have the opportunity to share it here.
Established in 2014, the list of “Young Guns” is drawn from nominations provided by NAPA Broker-Dealer/RIA Firm Partners and vetted by a blue ribbon panel of senior advisor industry experts based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative data submitted by the nominees, as well as a broker-check review.
One of the first of NAPA’s standard-setting industry lists, many of the individuals who have been recognized here have gone on to become the very industry leaders this recognition was designed to help identify.
