Applicants must manage a minimum of $75 MM in Defined Contribution (DC) plan assets and a minimum of 20 per cent of their client’s assets in DC plans. Qualifying advisers completed a questionnaire about the nature of their practice and FT grades advisers on six broad factors relating to DC plan business: AUM, Growth, Specialization, Experience, industry certifications and, compliance record.
