ARLINGTON, VA – The National Tax-deferred Savings Association has announced the finalists for its prestigious NTSA Elite Advisor Award.

The 2017 NTSA Elite Advisor Award will be presented at a general session during NTSA’s 403(b) Masters Summit in Carefree, Ariz. Jan. 25-27, 2017. The Award finalists are:

“The NTSA’s Elite Advisor Award recognizes the very best advisors, as nominated by their peers,” said Chris DeGrassi, executive director of the National Tax-deferred Savings Association. “These are the professionals that make a positive difference for their clients, communities and profession. NTSA Elite Advisors represent the standard of excellence to which all investment professionals should aspire.”

These Elite Advisors help individual plan participants accumulate assets for retirement, understanding their goals, educating them on options and potential results, while delivering and monitoring the full range of allowable investment products from securities to insurance, and working with the other qualified partners that make this a total package, the attorneys, accountants and plan administrators.
