Today NAPA is pleased to unveil our third annual list of top DC wholesalers – a.k.a. “Wingmen” – for the nation’s retirement plan advisors.
We call them “Wingmen” because if they are doing their job, they have your back – and this year’s group certainly fits that bill. This year we received a record number of nominations from NAPA Firm Partners – and received a record number of votes from advisors (on top of last year’s amazing response, which included votes from retirement industry professionals in addition to advisors).
Finalists for this recognition were selected based on those votes cast by several thousand advisors from a list of nearly 500 wholesalers nominated by their NAPA Firm Partner record keepers and DCIOs.
With an estimated 1,400 record keeping and DCIO external wholesalers working directly with advisors, this 2016 Wingmen list represents the top 7% of the industry. In addition to the Top 100 list, for the second year in a row we also compiled lists of the top 10 DC wholesalers in the record keeper and DCIO categories.
The 2016 Top DC Wholesalers list is online here; for more about the annual list, click here. This year’s Wingmen will also be featured in the Fall issue of NAPA Net the Magazine, which will be distributed at the NAPA DC Fly-in Forum and mailed to NAPA members later this month.
Our congratulations to these Wingmen (and women!), and the firms that support them – and our thanks to all of you who supported this recognition with your votes!
