NAPA Honors Ascensus Regional Vice President as Defined Contribution Industry Leader

DRESHER, Pa. - Sept. 28, 2016 - PRLog -- Ascensus, the nation's largest independent retirement plan and college savings services provider, announced that regional vice president Ted Smith was recognized on NAPA's 100 Top DC Wholesalers list for the second consecutive year.

The selection process was overseen by a blue ribbon panel of advisors and based on votes cast by several thousand industry professionals from a list of nearly 500 wholesalers nominated by their NAPA Firm Partner recordkeepers and DCIOs.

According to NAPA Net, "We call them 'DC Wingmen' because if they are doing their job, they have your [plan advisors'] back." With an estimated 1,400 recordkeeping and DCIO external wholesalers working directly with advisors, the 2016 Wingmen list represents the top 7% of the industry.

"We congratulate Ted for receiving this honor for the second consecutive year and consistently demonstrating the value of our organization's partnership and expertise," said Anthony Bologna, Ascensus' vice president of retail sales. "Being recognized by the financial professionals he supports is the ultimate compliment."
