Publicly, people scoff at lists and awards but privately, almost everyone looks at them. As the 401(k) industry becomes more attractive to RIAs, and vice versa, RIABiz decided to publish their own version of a “10 most influential individuals in the 401(k) industry affecting RIAs in 2012” list (not to be confused with the 401kWire’s “Most Influential List” for both industry execs and advisors, which should be out soon).
The RIABiz list includes many well-know names, including Brightscope’s Alfred brothers, Fred Reish of Drinker Biddle, fi360’s Blaine Aiken, SageView’s Randy Long, Phil Chircotti from CFDD and Fielding Miller of CapTrust, as well as executives from Financial Engines, Fidelity and Schwab. Leading the list is EBSA’s Phyllis Borzi.
This list is in two parts, here and here. Those who made it, as well as their businesses, are profiled, along with their goals for 2013. Do you agree/disagree with the current top 10? Who would you have nominated?
