New York, January 8 – National Association of Plan Advisors (NAPA) recently released their 2019 "Top Retirement Plan Advisors Under 40" ranking and recognized two Financial Advisors at UBS. They are among 100 other "Young Guns" who are widely seen as the future leaders of the retirement plan advisor industry.

The list was established in 2014, and this year, there were more than 500 nominations provided by NAPA broker-dealer/RIA firm partners. They will be featured in a future issue of NAPA Net the Magazine and will also be acknowledged at the 2019 NAPA 401(k) Summit in Las Vegas in April.

"By leveraging both our firm's resources and their own expertise, Megan and Brian are helping to provide businesses with the guidance they need to support their employees," said Jason Chandler, Head WM USA. "This recognition is a testament not only to these Advisors' relentless client focus, but also to their ability to help UBS unlock further growth and success for years to come. Congratulations to both of them."
