Industry Leader Awards2024 Welcome to the third annual PLANADVISER Industry Leader Awards dinner and celebration! Underlying most of what we do is this truth: The road to financial security for many Americans is mostly paved with employer retirement plans. Advisers and consultants continue to play a pivotal role in helping employers frame their retirement and financial wellness programs and in encouraging American employees to work toward their retirement goals. The PLANADVISER community is closely interwoven and supportive. The investment managers and recordkeepers who receive awards tonight will do so because they've been selected and ranked as best by advisers; further, many of our 2024 finalists were nominated by their peers-leading asset managers or recordkeepers. Tonight, we also acknowledge many advisers who are doing the hard work of growing this advisory industry and improving the external perception of the work being done. We at PLANADVISER and ISS STOXX congratulate and thank the many retirement plan advisers, recordkeepers and investment managers-the Industry Leaders-showcased this evening. We are privileged to recognize all you do and to be a partner in your efforts. Our industry remains under constant scrutiny-and pressure to provide a secure retirement for all American workers. There will be no shortage of challenges ahead, but those can wait until tomorrow. Tonight, we celebrate! With my best regards, Alison Cooke Mintzer Publisher, PLANADVISER 2 May 8 2024 planadviser Industry Leader Awards 2024
