New York, November 12, 2020 – UBS is proud to announce that five Advisors have been named to the National Association of Plan Advisors (NAPA) Top Women Retirement Plan Advisors list for 2020. The ranking was created in 2015 to acknowledge the contributions of women who continue to make significant improvements to the retirement industry.

To be a nominee, one must be a female Advisor with a majority of her business conducted in Retirement Plan Consulting Services and an acceptable compliance record.

Nominees responded to a series of questions about their experience and practice in the industry, which was reviewed by a panel of judges. The following categories were distinguished:

  • Captains: All-stars who happen to be principals, owners or team captains of their organizations
  • All-Stars: Top producers who have their own practice 
  • Rising Stars: Top producers who have less than five years of experience with retirement plans as a financial advisor (some have been working with retirement plans longer, but not as a financial advisor)
