ARLINGTON, VA – The National Association of Plan Advisors (NAPA) is pleased to announce its 2015 Top Retirement Plan Advisors Under 40.

Established in 2014, the list is drawn from nominations provided by NAPA Firm Partners, voted on by the 10,000+ members of NAPA, and vetted by a blue ribbon committee of senior advisor industry experts. These “Young Guns” are seen as the future leaders of the industry.

The 2015 Top Retirement Plan Advisors Under 40 are:

ARLINGTON, VA — The Department of Labor’s long-awaited fiduciary reproposal claims to protect consumers from “conflicts of interest” in retirement advice – but at what cost?

While initial concerns about preserving the ability for 401(k) participants to work with the advisor of their choice on rollovers appear to be addressed in the new proposal, the new compliance regimen looks to be significant, adding cost and complexity to the process.  Among other things, this includes written contracts with multiple signatures, as well as initial and annual disclosures.

SAN DIEGO, CA — The advisory team at Retirement Resources in Peabody, Mass., represented by Jim Phillips and Patrick McGinn, AIF, CFA, has been named winner of the 2015 NAPA 401(k) Advisor Leadership Award.

Phillips and McGinn were on hand to receive the award on behalf of the firm during a general session March 23 at the NAPA 401(k) Summit, the nation’s largest retirement plan advisor event.  They were finalists for the NAPA 401(k) Leadership Award in 2012.

SAN DIEGO, CA — At the nation’s largest retirement plan advisor event, Joseph F. DeNoyior, CRPS, AIF, C(k)P, was named president of the National Association of Plan Advisors.
