CHICAGO, Oct. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Four Hightower advisors from Fiduciary Plan Advisors and Treasury Partners have secured spots on the Financial Times' 401, a list of the top retirement advisors in the country for 2020. The annual list recognizes the achievements of financial advisers who specialize in serving defined contribution (DC) retirement plans across the U.S.

The Hightower advisors who made this year's list are:

• Peter Godfrey of Fiduciary Plan Advisors in Baltimore, Md.
• Jania Stout of Fiduciary Plan Advisors in Baltimore, Md.
• Chad Wilson of Fiduciary Plan Advisors in Baltimore, Md.
• Steve Bogner of Treasury Partners in New York, N.Y.

Both Fiduciary Plan Advisors and Treasury Partners provide clients with a wide range of consulting services on employer-sponsored retirement plans.

"It's deeply gratifying to see these talented advisors honored by the Financial Times," said Bob Oros, Hightower CEO. "Helping companies provide employees with the tools they need to retire comfortably is a complex task with many moving parts, one which these four advisors have mastered over the course of their careers. Congrats to all!"

The sixth annual FT 401 list, produced independently by Ignites Research, a division of Money-Media, Inc., on behalf of the Financial Times, grades advisors based on six criteria: DC assets under advisement (AUA), DC AUA growth rate, specialization in DC plans, years of experience, advanced industry credentials and compliance record. There are no fees or other considerations required of advisers who apply for the FT 401. The median DC plan assets administered by this year's impressive cohort of elite advisers is $800 million. The advisors' DC plans on average account for 86% of total client assets.
