The 20 Rising Stars of Retirement Plan Advisors 2007 - (Page 4) RISING STARS 20 RETIREMENT PLAN ADVISORS Editor’s Note www.iinews.com EDITORIAL JESSICA SOMMAR Editor of Business Publishing MARK MALYSZKO Assistant Editor MICHELLE SAMSON Contributing Reporter KATE MCGREGOR Contributing Reporter LAURA PAGLIARO Associate Marketing Manager (212) 224-3896 VINCENT YESENOSKY Senior Operations Manager (212) 224-3057 DAVID SILVA Senior Fulfillment Manager (212) 224-3573 Welcome to Institutional Investor News’ inaugural issue of the 20 Rising Stars of Retirement Plan Advisors spotlighting up-and-coming professionals nominated by their peers and selected by our staff as future leaders and trendsetters in the industry. Our finalist retirement plan advisors come from across the nation and have, on average, just under $1 billion in advisory assets under management. Some are specialists in Health Care Savings Accounts, municipalities and nonprofits and their expertise ranges across all plan sizes. Our coverage begins on page 16. As in all our Rising Stars issues, we include features on markets and compensation. Our industry overview notes the retirement market has matured and that retirement plan advisors are under pressure to become retirement plan specialists [story begins on page 5.] In compensation, we found that while some advisors may be swimming in business, experts warn the market has matured [story begins on page 8.] We ask all our nominees who they consider their mentors—those people who by example and encouragement helped to make our rising stars what they are today. Their answers can be found on our Mentors’ Page, on page 30.
