Recipient Selected by NAPA & ASPPA
LAS VEGAS (March 4, 2013) – The American Society of Pension Professionals & Actuaries (ASPPA) today
announced the team of Fiduciary Consulting Group @ PSA from Hunt Valley, Md., received the 2013 401(k)
Advisor Leadership Award. Jania Stout, Retirement Plans Practice Leader at PSA, received the award on behalf
of the team during a session of the 12th annual NAPA/ASPPA 401(k) SUMMIT in Las Vegas, Nev.
The 401(k) Advisor Leadership Award recognizes a leading financial advisor or team for contributions that
exemplify leadership, experience, and expertise in the retirement plan industry. Sponsored by National
Association of Plan Advisors (NAPA) and ASPPA—leaders in retirement education and advocacy—the award
reflects the multi-faceted efforts of advisors to serve their clients (plan sponsors and participants), act as a
mentor, maintain high ethical standards, and consistently improve their practices and services in the retirement
industry.
“Stout and her team at Fiduciary Consulting Group are committed to making a difference in the lives of plan
sponsors and their participants,” said Brian Graff, executive director/CEO of ASPPA. “They channel this attitude
in their service model centered on fiduciary duty, emphasis on participant education, and their openness to
innovation in plan design and results. As a result, Stout and her team have enhanced the ability of American
workers to achieve a secure retirement.”
Fiduciary Consulting Group @ PSA’s team—Jania Stout, Chad Wilson, and Peter Godfrey, and finalists Chad
Larsen, President, and the team at Moreton Retirement Partners in Denver, Colo.; and Michael Kane, Founder &
Managing Director, and the team at Plan Sponsor Consultants in Alpharetta, Ga. were selected from more than
65 nominations submitted by peers and colleagues in the retirement plan industry.
“Our business is constantly evolving and Stout and her team understand that with change comes opportunities to
educate, inform and innovate,” said Marcy L. Supovitz, NAPA president and principal of Boulay Donnelly &
Supovitz Consulting Group, Inc. “When they reached their first $1 billion in assets they took it to the next level and
hired a Financial Wellness coach to see how they could improve their outreach to plan sponsors and participants.
This is just one way they share their passion for helping workers prepare for a dignified retirement.”
