“These top advisors, all of whom are profiled monthly at 401kspecialist.com, have distinguished themselves in the all-important area of participant outcomes, the only true measure of 401(k) plan success,” said John Sullivan, 401(k) Specialist’s editor-in-chief. “Whether it’s developing and deploying innovative plan benchmarking and scoring techniques or connecting with sponsors and participants on a human level, the results are raising the bar for the industry as a whole.”
401(k) Specialist is extremely excited to partner with TAPO’s 2018 sponsor, J.P. Morgan Asset Management.
The company’s innovative “Let’s solve it” campaign is dedicated to assisting advisors with their most pressing challenges. It presents a natural synergy, as participant outcomes is one of the premier challenges with which 401(k) advisors, sponsors and participants currently wrestle.
“Every day, we actively work to simplify, inform and empower better decisions,” J.P. Morgan Asset Management noted. “All to help build stronger portfolios and to help our clients achieve long-term success.”
Although J.P. Morgan Asset Management is a partner in the recognition and celebration, it was in no way involved with, or responsible for, the selection of the Top Advisors by Participant Outcomes, as it is strictly an editorial process.
