2019 Young Guns: Top 100 Retirement Plan Advisors Under 40

2019 Young Guns: Top 100 Plan Advisors Under 40

Established in 2014, this list is based on applications received from nominees designated by NAPA Broker-Dealer/RIA Firm Partners.  Those applications are 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. These “Young Guns”are widely seen as the future leaders of the retirement plan advisor industry.

This year we more than 500 nominations (a 10% increase from a year ago).  While each year’s nominations contain an inspiring pool of potential candidates, due to both the size and quantity of qualifying advisors, we have acknowledged 100 top young retirement plan advisors this year!
