A 2019 'Best Place to Work in Money Management'

Adviser Investments Named Among ‘Best Places to Work in Money Management’ by Pensions & Investments

December 9, 2019

Adviser Investments announced today that, for the fourth year in a row, it has been recognized among the “Best Places to Work in Money Management” by Pensions & Investments (P&I) magazine. Adviser Investments was one of 76 organizations named to the 2019 list, which features the best employers within the wealth management sector.

Adviser Investments’ application focused on its 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. “We put our employees first. That’s how Adviser Investments consistently attracts and retains top talent—key to our goal of keeping our clients satisfied—even in this competitive labor market.”

“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,” said P&I Editor Amy B. Resnick. “Our surveys found that the employers on the list were much more likely to offer things like flex time, telecommuting, child and elder care, family leave, job sharing, and adoption assistance.”

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.

“One of our mottos at Adviser Investments is ‘1% more.’ We are always open to new ideas from our employees that help us serve our clients better,” notes Adviser Investments Chairman Dan Wiener. “We believe that approach fosters their professional growth, and has helped us develop a team we’re proud to call our greatest asset.”

The P&I award caps a banner year for the company. Earlier this year, InvestmentNews named Adviser Investments one of its “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 2019, ranking its 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 2019, placing Adviser Investments among its list of elite independent wealth managers for the seventh consecutive year. Barron’s also recognized Adviser Investments among the top 10 firms in 2019 on its list of “Top Massachusetts Financial Advisors,” the firm’s sixth appearance in a row. In October, Adviser Investments’ Director of Research Jeff DeMaso and Deputy Director of Research Brian Mackey were named to CityWire USA’s “40 Rising Stars” list.

Most recently, the National Association for Business Resources included Adviser Investments on its Boston’s Best and Brightest Companies To Work For® list—2019 marked the company’s fourth consecutive year achieving this honor. This competition identifies and celebrates organizations that display a commitment to excellence in their human resource practices and employee enrichment.
