A listing of the top retirement advisers in America with data powered by Broadridge.
The FT401 presents a list of elite professionals who specialize in advising US employers on their defined contribution (DC) retirement plans. As research partner, Broadridge supported the Financial Times and Ignites Research with data in order to identify advisers specializing in serving companies sponsoring DC plans, including 401(k) plans and other DC accounts.
The qualifying applicants had to advise at least $75m in DC plan assets as well as having at least 20 percent of their client assets in DC plans. The advisers were also asked to complete a questionnaire about the specifics of their practices.
The factors used to grade the advisers were:
- DC assets under management

- Specialization in the DC business
- Experience advising on DC plans
- Industry certifications
- Compliance record
