(firmenpresse) - SAN DIEGO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/13/12 -- BrightScope (), a leading provider of independent financial information and investment research, today announced its second round list of the top Orlando area-based companies with the highest ranked 401k plans containing more than $25 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.
"The BrightScope Rating gives plan participants insight into the factors that will directly affect their retirement, such as company generosity and total plan cost," said Dan Weeks, founder and COO of BrightScope. "There is no reason individuals investing in their futures should have to struggle making these important decisions, and with the help of resources like BrightScope, they don't have to."
