The "Top Financial Advisers" list recognizes the top financial advisors who specialize in serving defined contribution (DC) retirement plans. The list was developed in collaboration with Ignites Research, a subsidiary of The Financial Times that provides business intelligence on asset management, and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. a leading provider of data solutions and market intelligence. Ignites Research created the methodology and ranked the advisors. Broadridge provided unique data from its proprietary databases that helped identify advisors who specialize in serving DC plans, including 401(k) plans and other DC accounts. To qualify for the list, advisors had to have 20% or more of their total client assets in DC plans. Qualified advisors were then graded based on seven broad factors: DC assets under management, growth in DC plans and assets, degree of specialization in the DC business, experience, participation rate in DC plans advised, industry certifications, and compliance record.
