Several decades back I broke my was winter (of course), I was living in the Chicago suburbs at the time, and in addition to a very demanding job in the Loop, I was going to law school at night. Difficult as this will be for many to imagine, this was before we had email, voice mail, or even the Internet. In sum, I had to find a way to get into work, and to school. Did I mention it was my driving leg?

Fortunately, my apartment was within walking distance to public transportation — although in fairness “walking distance” takes on a whole new meaning when on crutches.

There was, of course, the issue of carrying materials to and from work, not to mention my law books. My crutches made carrying a briefcase impractical, and so — well, before it was “cool” to use a backpack for work, I was. Then, as now, I found it to be a handy way to keep with me lots of useful information — and my law books fit much better as well. I retired that backpack along with my crutches (it really wasn’t a good look for work at the time) — but I could never have gotten through that period without it.

In an industry where change, turnover, and consolidation are the norm, it can be hard to keep up, and to keep up with the information you need when you need it. Indeed, it’s incredible to look back on what’s happened in the months since we published the inaugural NAPA Black Book, and realize just how much change has occurred.

There is, for all the change that surrounds us, some reassuring continuity both in the quantity and quality of the organizations that support retirement plan advisors, and that are represented in the pages that follow.

That said, this year’s Black Book is literally bigger and arguably better than its predecessor. There are more firms represented in each of the main categories, and we have added an entirely new category to the mix, that of third-party administrators, or TPAs.

The goal this year, as it was last, is to pull together in a single handy reference guide key information points about key advisor partners: the size and scope of their business, target markets, select historical data trends, and of course, the means to reach out to find out more.

In addition to the Table of Contents nearby, each of the sections opens with an “at-a-glance” table of the providers in each section. While it includes only a subset of information from the detailed provider listings that follow, we hope it will help you glean a sense of the key service attributes of each, and help you navigate to the service provider(s) that are most suitable to meet your service requirements.

You’ll want to take particular note of those who, as NAPA Firm Partners, support the mission of the National Association of Plan Advisors in a special way. We’ve noted

them in the pages that follow, with a special logo indicating that status. In a very real sense, what we do here in all its aspects — education, advocacy, and information — is made possible by their support, as well as that of our advertisers, many of whom are also Firm Partners.

In this day and age, one might well wonder why this information is being produced in such a traditional format. The answer, quite simply, is that many of our readers will find this medium easier to reference and review. It can — and we hope it will — be a resource that you can keep at your fingertips throughout the year. However, as we did last year, there is an enhanced online version (for NAPA Firm Partners) under the Partner Corner tab at www.napa-net.org, and once again it will also be available in a digital version via the NAPA App. This will allow you to not only readily search throughout the publication, but to share profiles and other information via email or social media with your peers and colleagues.

So many of you have commented to me over the past year on how useful this guide was as a resource in your practice. I’m sure you will find this year’s version to be even more so, and look forward to your comments and suggestions to make it an even more vital tool in the months ahead.

Thanks again, as always, for your support of NAPA, and our information resources. N

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR ≥
We hope that you will find the Black Book to be a useful resource, and that you will have opportunity to refer to it regularly.”

IS YOUR DC PLAN MISSING SOMETHING?

For participants, the accumulation stage is only part of the journey. A transitional income strategy can help bridge the gap between saving and spending in retirement, and we offer a range of flexible solutions specifically designed for that purpose.

Investors should carefully consider a fund’s investment goals, risks, charges and expenses before investing. To obtain a Franklin Templeton fund summary prospectus and/or prospectus that contains this and other information, call 1-800-342-5236. Investors should read the prospectus carefully before investing.

All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Investing in a Franklin Templeton fund does not guarantee one’s retirement needs will be met.

THEDCIOs

Defined Contribution Investment Only providers, better known as DCIOs, are an essential part of the DC business, and their wholesalers have become an integral part of many advisory practices.

efined Contribution Investment Only providers, better known as DCIOs, are an essential component of the burgeoning defined contribution space. More significantly, as evidenced by the prominence of key wholesalers in NAPA’s annual ranking of Top DC Wholesalers, these “wingmen” are an integral component of many advisory practices.

Sway Research estimates that DC investment-only (DCIO) assets now total $3.5 trillion, and make up 48% of the DC market. Moreover, Sway projects IO assets will grow at more than twice the rate of proprietary assets through the remainder of this decade to produce total DCIO AUM of $4.4 trillion in 2020, at which point IO will make up 52% of DC assets.

However, that growth will not be enjoyed by all. Sway notes that while assets at the average manager increased by 5% over the 12 months ended June 30, 2016, and while gross sales levels in the first half of 2016 improved relative to 2015, the average manager experienced slight net redemptions from its DCIO business of $21 million following net outflows of $304 million in 2015. While some trends (increased target-date fund usage) have worked to DCIO firms’ advantage, others (a growing market affinity for passively-managed options) have not.

Not only are these DCIO wholesalers among the most knowledgeable resources to advisors, these days the vast majority of resources now available to plan advisors, even those created by third parties, have been made available courtesy of DCIOs. As we noted last year, DCIO wholesalers have become de facto practice management experts, helping advisors not only manage their practice, but also sharing competitive information about what other Elite advisors are doing.

So what do advisors want in terms of support from DCIOs?

According to Ignites Research, in order of importance, they want:

• Competitive intelligence about what other advisors are doing

• Business-building tools

• Thought leadership and market commentary they can share with clients and prospects

• Sponsorship of events

• Insight into industry and regulatory changes

On the pages that follow you’ll find information regarding the firms that, though they make their living selling/promoting and supporting investment products, bring so much more to the table.

†As stated in the prospectus, the investment adviser and its affiliates have agreed to limit the total annual fund operating expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses (AFFEs), but excluding interest, taxes and certain non-routine expenses) of each of the funds to 0.08% for Institutional Shares for so long as the investment adviser serves as adviser to the funds. This agreement may only be amended or terminated with the approval of a fund’s Board of Trustees. AFFEs are indirect expenses incurred by the fund through its investments in the underlying funds.

Investors should consider carefully information contained in the prospectus, including investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. You can request a prospectus for Schwab Funds by visiting csimfunds.com. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.

The principal value of the funds is not guaranteed at any time, and will continue to fluctuate up to and after the target date. There is no guarantee the funds will provide adequate income at or through retirement.

The funds are built for investors who expect to start gradual withdrawals of fund assets on the target date, to begin covering expenses in retirement.

Target date fund asset allocations are subject to change over time in accordance with each fund’s prospectus.

The investment risks of the funds will change as asset allocations change. Investors should consider risk tolerance and personal finance conditions along with age and retirement date when investing in the funds.

Individual and institutional investors currently entrust $32.4 billion* (as of Sept. 30, 2016) in assets with us and our affiliates.

THERECORDKEEPERS

Recordkeepers are perhaps in the strongest position of all providers, since they control the technology and, perphaps more importantly, the data that runs DC plans. However, consolidation continues to affect this segment of the market, leaving more power in the hands of fewer recordkeepers.

There is perhaps no partner component more integral to a smooth plan operation those responsible for the establishment and maintenance of individual participant and plan records. And yet, arguably there is no partner component more pressed by increasing costs and an on-going need to upgrade and update their operations. This at a time when heightened scrutiny of long-standing practices such as revenue-sharing are placing even more pressure on income streams.

Not helping matters? That even the industry’s most ardent champions routinely refer to these crucial services as a “commodity.”

Consolidation has worked to the advantage of some providers, who have managed to broaden their target markets with key acquisitions. In some cases that has left a vacuum for those who now seek to specialize in particular markets, notably those serving smaller plans. And while the Labor Department’s fiduciary regulation primarily targeted advisor compensation, there’s little question that, like most regulations, it will also have an impact here.

Consolidation remains the order of the day though for an industry that has ostensibly been roiled by consolidation of one form or another for at least 30 years now a remarkably robust, though shrinking, roster of players remains, as attested by the pages that follow.

That said, things are quieter on the consolidation front this year, with only about a half dozen deals in 2016, and none the kind of “game changers” that dominated the headlines a year ago.

Does that mean we’re done with recordkeeping consolidation? Hardly. But as you can see on the pages that follow, there is still a robust number of options from which to choose.

clear view of retirement, improving outcomes

We keep participants on course toward a funded retirement. What makes our approach to retirement readiness so effective is that it’s so personalized. At any time, participants can check their own retirement forecast to get an idea of whether they’re on course toward a funded retirement and, if not, what steps they can take to improve it. Think how much more engaged your clients’ participants would be with this kind of actionable guidance. To learn more, call 888-401-5826 or visit trsretire.com.

NAPA’s Upcoming Industry Lists

NAPA’s unique lists highlight three critical elements of the retirement industry: “Wingmen,” listing the DC industry’s top wholesalers, “Young Guns,” our list of the top plan advisors under 40, and NAPA’s Top Women Advisors.

One of the things that sets these lists apart from other published lists is that they are based on a nominating/voting/selection process that taps the knowledge of NAPA’s 10,000+ members. Look for more information about the upcoming editions of all three lists on the NAPA Net portal and in the NAPA Net Daily.

In what has long been a male-dominated profession, a growing number of women are today making significant contributions to this field. In 2015, the editorial team here committed to an acknowledgment of those contributions with the launch of the newest NAPA Net list, NAPA’s Top Women Advisors.

You can find the lists of Top Women Advisor All-Stars, Captains, and Rising Stars online at www.napa-net.org, under the “Industry Lists” tab.

The 2016 list of Top Women Advisors will be published in the Winter 2016 issue of NAPA Net, the Magazine.

Where is the next generation of plan advisors coming from?

To answer that question, NAPA set out to find the top young advisors — the profession’s “Young Guns.” The result of was our list of the “Top 50 Plan Advisors Under 40,” first published in 2014.

You can find our lists from 2014, 2015, and 2016 online at www.napa-net.org, under the “Industry Lists” tab.

The 2017 “Young Guns” list will be published in the Spring 2017 issue of NAPA Net, the Magazine, which will be distributed at the NAPA 401(k) Summit, the nation’s retirement plan advisor convention.

Only plan advisors know how important their DC wholesaler can be in building, managing and growing their practice. We call them “DC Wingmen” because if they are doing their job, they have your back.

And only advisors know which Wingmen are really good and truly add value.

That’s why NAPA set out to identify the top wholesalers who serve the DC market — the truly elite Wingmen. Our first annual Top DC Wholesalers list, published in March 2014, quickly became an industry staple.

You can find the lists of Top DC Wholesalers online at www.napa-net.org, under the “Industry Lists” tab.

The 2017 list of DC Top Industry Wholesalers will be published in the Summer 2017 issue of NAPA Net, the Magazine.

Questions about the process, timing, or eligibility for the lists should be directed to Nevin Adams at nevin.adams@usaretirement.org.

WINTER 2016 SUMMER 2017 SPRING 2017 2017

DISTRIBUTORS

THE BROKER DEALERS & RIAs

Financial advisors need to affiliate with a broker dealer (BD) or registered investment advisor (RIA) in order to sell investments (other than annuities) within DC plans.

There are three basic platforms they can choose from:

WIRE HOUSES

Platforms where the plan advisor is an employee

INDEPENDENT BDs

The advisor is a 1099 contractor

3

RIAs

The advisor has no affiliation with a BD

A growing number of experienced plan advisors these days fall into a category called “hybrids,” meaning they affiliate with a BD and an RIA. That RIA can be owned and controlled by the BD with which they are affiliated, or the advisor can own and run it independently. Furthermore, there’s a growing crop of specialty groups, many of which are affiliated with an established BD, that focus on supporting plan advisors. Some of those groups require a BD or RIA change, while others do not.

Some experienced advisors are joining these specialty groups to leverage their intellectual capital and support as well as the brand. As with BDs, some require the advisor to be an employee, while others allow advisors to remain independent. Other advisors choose to remain independent, usually affiliating with a BD that has allocated at least a minimal amount of support in the form of home office personnel and the tools that advisors need to run a DC practice.

Looming over all this is the Labor Department’s fiduciary rule, specifically its potential impact on business structures, practices, and compensation. And as if that weren’t enough change and uncertainty to absorb, the 2016 elections have thrown a whole new twist of considerations into the mix.

Regardless, this is a resilient industry that has long had to anticipate and respond to the winds of regulatory and legislative change, even if the transitions haven’t always been easy, painless, or even as initially anticipated. Pundits have predicted massive changes that didn’t come to be, and glossed over change that, at the time, seemed relatively insignificant, but with the perspective of time turned out to be truly “game changing.”

As we said a year ago in this space, advisors – and the firms that support them and their practices – would be well-advised to stay tuned for changes that, though affected and influenced by the DOL rule, will be driven mostly by the continued sway of a dynamic marketplace.

The self directed arena is the fastest growing part of our business as the opportunity has grown from just a few thousand plans offering self direction to over 80,000 plans.

TPAs

A TPA can be a plan advisor’s best friend. But it’s important to understand the various types of TPAs and how to best leverage them depending on the plan profile and size.

TPA NAPA NET THE MAGAZINE 112
THE

The “third-party” harkens back to a realization that these firms, as with recordkeepers generally, provide services to a plan sponsor that plan sponsors once did for themselves. Yes, that was mostly in a time before there were 401(k)s (not to mention daily valuation).

Things have grown significantly more complicated over the years, though and today TPAs not only keep up with participant accounts, they can be an invaluable resource to plan sponsors and advisors on issues like regulatory compliance and plan design.

A TPA can be a plan advisor’s best friend. But it’s important to understand the various types of TPAs and how to best leverage them depending on the plan profile and size.

Our inaugural “Black Book” didn’t include a section on third-party administrators, or TPAs not that we weren’t asked to. The TPAs listed on the pages that follow have a focus on working with advisors. That’s critically important in forming a mutually beneficial partnership predicated on a solid appreciation for what each member brings to the relationship and shared clients.

As with everything in life, the relationship and cultural fit is paramount. And the choice to use a TPA may depend on the size of a plan or the plan sponsor’s particular needs. On the pages that follow, you’ll find the information you need to evaluate the best fit(s) for your practice.
