Walnut Creek, CA—July 30, 2018—We are pleased to announce that the retirement industry’s leading publication has again named Newport Group one of the nation’s largest defined contribution recordkeepers.

This year’s ranking positions us firmly among the best-known brands in retirement services, and further solidifies our position as one of the largest independent recordkeepers working through financial advisors. It also reflects the growth of our entire retirement business—both

The results were aggregated from data submitted by 63 service providers that collectively oversee more than $7 trillion in DC assets and are estimated to account for more than 90% of the total defined contribution market. Each provider is ranked in three categories: total plans, total assets and total participants; other rankings/totals reflect only those organizations that reported the associated data.
