Who Is NAPA? Uniquely created by and for the serious retirement plan advisor. 12,000 members strong and growing 90% are retirement plan advisors 250+ firm partners, including all major broker-dealers, DCIOs and recordkeepers More than 40 million participants are covered by the DC plans with which NAPA members work More than $4 trillion in DC retirement plan assets under management with members and firm partners HOW NAPA HELPS ADVISORS Advocacy Debates over a uniform fiduciary standard and the definition of investment advice under ERISA prove that policymakers in Washington have little understanding of what plan advisors do. Add in major issues like tax reform, the federal budget deficit, the economy s uncertainty and debates about the future of 401(k) plans and it s critical that advisors have a strong voice in Washington.
