ARLINGTON, VA – The National Association of Plan Advisors (NAPA) is pleased to announce its list of 100 Top Defined Contribution (DC) Wholesalers, as selected by the nation’s leading retirement plan advisors.
This year’s list drew an overwhelming response – nearly a third more than the previous year’s record response. Finalists for this recognition were selected based on votes cast by several thousand advisors from a list of more than 500 wholesalers nominated by NAPA Firm Partner recordkeepers and DCIOs.
“We call them “Wingmen” because if they are doing their job, they have the advisor’s back in terms of information, tools, and support,” explained Nevin Adams, Chief Content Officer at the American Retirement Association, and Editor-in-Chief of NAPA-Net, the publication that sponsors the award.
With an estimated 1,400 record keeping and DCIO external wholesalers working directly with advisors, this Wingmen list represents the top 7 percent of the industry.
In addition to the Top 100 list, NAPA also released a list of the top 10 DC wholesalers in the recordkeeper and DCIO categories. The list(s) are available here.
The Top DC Wholesalers will be featured in the fall issue of NAPA Net the magazine.
