The entry window for the 2026 PLANADVISER Top Retirement Plan Advisers listing is now open.
This prestigious designation recognizes retirement plan advisers in the industry based on quantitative measures, such as number of plans and plan assets under advisement.
For those who meet the minimum plan or asset count, advisers are also highlighted if they have a special focus on any plan type, including 401(k), 403(b), 457, nonqualified, DB, cash balance, SEP, SIMPLE or MEP/PEP plans. Those who meet certain demographic criteria, such as females or those younger than 40, will also be highlighted. Last year’s list is available here.
The 2026 PLANADVISER Top Retirement Plan Advisers will be celebrated at our annual Industry Leader Awards event in May in New York City.
