Seeking Your Opinion in the PLANADVISER Retirement Plan Adviser Survey
PLANADVISER invites advisers to take a relatively brief survey about their practice and perceptions of investment managers and recordkeepers. The Retirement Plan Adviser (RPA) Survey seeks to gather individual adviser sentiment about industry trends and the investment managers and DC plan recordkeepers with which they have worked over the past two years. The questionnaire should take around 15 minutes to complete. It is intended to be filled out by RPAs servicing DC plans (i.e., 401(k), 403(b), etc.). All responses will remain confidential and will only be reported in aggregate. As a thank you survey respondents can select an Amazon gift card or a donation to a charity in your name upon completion of the survey.
