METHODOLOGY:

The PLANADVISER Top 100 Retirement Plan Advisers award is based solely on self-reported quantitative data about an adviser’s practice, including number of retirement plan assets under advisement, number of plans under advisement, and percentage of business coming from defined benefit, 403(b) and nonqualified plans. Because this recognition is based solely on quantitative figures, there is no judging or subjective measurement. Neither ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Financial Services Inc. nor its employees pay a fee in exchange for this award.
