BrightScope Lists the Top 25 Portland Area-Based Companies With the Best 401k Plans
Oregon Anesthesiology Group, P.C. Leads the List of Rankings for the Second Time
(firmenpresse) - SAN DIEGO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/05/12 -- BrightScope (), a leading provider of independent financial information and investment research, today announced its second annual list of the top Portland area-based companies with the highest ranked 401k plans containing more than $100 million in assets. This year BrightScope has extended the list to include the top 25 companies.
BrightScope obtains an increasing amount of its data directly from plan sponsors and record keepers, and augments these primary sources with data from publicly available sources such as the Department of Labor and the Securities and Exchange Commission. By analyzing and interpreting this data, BrightScope provides unprecedented transparency into the 401k industry.
"Portland should be proud of the variety of companies present on this year's list because it shows that any company, in any industry, can create a strong and effective 401k plan for its employees," said Dan Weeks, founder and COO of BrightScope. "As we release each of these lists, we hope that other companies will be motivated to ask for positive changes to their existing 401k plans in an effort to achieve a successful retirement."
Noteworthy findings in the 2012 Top 25 Portland Area-Based 401k Plans list include:
All of the previously top ten ranked companies appear again among the top 15 on this year's list, except for previously ranked No. 2, Tektronix 401k Plan, which did not make a second appearance due to its new headquarter location in Washington, D.C.
Salem Health Retirement Plan changed its name to Salem Hospital Retirement Plan due to their EIN change and falls two spots from 10th to 12th place
First place plan Oregon Anesthesiology Group, P.C. held its rank this year
Stoel Rives LLP, Northwest Permanente, P.C., make first appearances on the list as No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 respectively
