Newport Again Ranked a Top DC Recordkeeper

Jul 30, 2018

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.

In its annual list of top recordkeepers, Plansponsor magazine ranked Newport Group 18th out of the more than 60 firms featured in the survey.*

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 qualified and non-qualified. In addition, Newport Group ranked:

• Top 3 for most defined contribution plans added in 2017
• Top 5 for 403(b) plans and participants
• Top 5 for non-qualified plans and participants

These rankings are the result of our ongoing commitment to our sponsors, advisors and our core values: accountability, client focus, collaboration, integrity, and knowledge.
