Newton, Mass., Dec. 11, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Adviser Investments announced today that, for the third year in a row, it has been recognized among the “Best Places to Work in Money Management” by Pensions & Investments (P&I) magazine in 2018. Adviser Investments was one of 69 organizations named to this year’s list, which features the best employers within the wealth management sector.
P&I’s ranking emphasizes Adviser Investments’ ongoing commitment to professional growth and continuing education initiatives, profit-sharing contributions to employees’ 401(k) plans, highly competitive benefits packages and community service initiatives.
“We are honored to once again be considered one of the ‘Best Places to Work in Money Management,’” said Adviser Investments President and CEO Dan Silver. “This recognition reflects a workplace environment that respects and prioritizes its employees. Because of this, Adviser Investments consistently attracts and retains top talent—even in this competitive labor market—to the benefit of both our clients and our entire team.”
“Again this year, it is clear that what makes firms great employers isn’t necessarily about money management in particular,” said P&I Editor Amy B. Resnick. “Employees at these top-ranked firms most often cited their colleagues, the firm’s culture and the benefits as the things that make it a great place to work.”
Among other workplace initiatives, Adviser Investments supports professional development with ongoing training and a well-defined team structure to develop associates over time in a career path toward relationship management, operations, finance and marketing positions. In addition, the firm’s mentoring program pairs promising young employees with more experienced professionals to complete a year-long course and final project above and beyond their day-to-day job responsibilities.
“We’ve always valued input and encouraged professional growth from our talented employees,” Adviser Investments Chairman Dan Wiener noted. “That’s part of Adviser Investments’ cultural goal of ‘1% more.’ As our team members find areas to improve, the company, as a whole, simultaneously advances. Our employees have always been our greatest asset.”
The P&I award caps a banner year for the company. Earlier this year, InvestmentNews ranked Adviser Investments among the top 10 on its inaugural 2018 list of “Best Places to Work for Financial Advisers.” The ranking “honors ... firms that empower employees to provide clients with the best possible investment and financial planning advice.” In June, Financial Times included the company on its “FT 300” list for 2018, which recognizes the nation’s top independent registered investment advisers.
In September, Barron’s ranked the firm among the top 30 on its list of “Top 100 Independent Wealth Advisors” for 2018, placing Adviser Investments among the country’s elite independent wealth managers for the sixth consecutive year. Barron’s also recognized Adviser Investments among the top 10 firms in 2018 on its list of “Top Massachusetts Financial Advisors,” the firm’s fifth appearance in a row.
Most recently, the National Association for Business Resources included Adviser Investments on its Boston’s Best and Brightest Companies To Work For® list—2018 marked the company’s third consecutive year achieving this honor. This competition identifies and honors organizations that display a commitment to excellence in their human resource practices and employee enrichment.
