BrightScope Reveals the Top 25 Tampa-St. Petersburg Area-Based Companies With the Best 401k Plans
Formerly Ranked No. 1, Carlton Fields, P.A., Falls to No. 4 on This Year's List, Replaced by Newcomer Holland & Knight LLP
(firmenpresse) - SAN DIEGO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/26/12 -- BrightScope (), a leading provider of independent financial information and investment research, today announced its second annual list of the top Tampa-St. Petersburg area-based companies with the highest ranked 401k plans containing more than $50 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.
"A variety of 401k components, from menu quality to the amount paid in fees, can dramatically impact the financial futures of employees," said Dan Weeks, founder and COO of BrightScope. "That is why we issue these lists -- so other companies, both Florida-based and on the national level, can use these plans as a guide for creating a robust and reliable 401k plan that sets them apart in such a competitive financial environment."
