Strategic Named as One of Nation’s Top DC Advisor Teams

Utica, NY, March 20, 2025 – Strategic Financial Services, Inc. ("Strategic"), a leading independent wealth management firm based in Central New York, is pleased to announce that it has been named to the National Association of Plan Advisors’ list of the nation’s top defined contribution (DC) Advisor Teams with Assets under Advisement of at least $100 Million.

"We are honored to be recognized among the country’s top 401(k) advisors on NAPA’s Top DC Advisor list,” said Greg Tedone, Head of Retirement Plans and Senior Advisor at Strategic Financial Services. “Climbing higher on this prestigious list reflects our unwavering commitment to helping employers deliver exceptional retirement plans that drive better outcomes for their employees. We remain focused on bringing high-touch fiduciary guidance and innovative solutions to the organizations we serve,” added Tedone.

Unlike other lists, this focuses on individual firms—or what may, in a wirehouse environment, be referred to as a team or office—and the assets under advisement related to their defined contribution (DC) practice, specifically in a single physical location. The list is based on self-reported DC assets under advisement (AUA) as of year-end, and inclusion is not indicative of the team's past or future investment performance.

The inaugural list was published in 2017.  

“Since their inception, NAPA’s various industry lists represent the best of what the retirement plan industry has to offer, setting the bar higher for financial professionals and plan advisors specifically,” said John Sullivan, Chief Content Officer of the American Retirement Association, and Editor-in-Chief of NAPA-Net, the nation’s leading online resource for retirement plan advisors. “The NAPA Top DC Advisor Teams are ranked by self-reported DC assets under advisement and highlight the positive impact they’re making on the nation’s private retirement system.”

This year’s list featured 431 teams representing 43 states and the District of Columbia.

Sullivan added, “As the nation’s voice for retirement plan advisors, we are once again pleased to highlight the contributions and commitment of these teams.”

The list of NAPA’s Top DC Advisor Teams, which will be published in the Spring issue of NAPA Net, the Magazine, is available online at https://www.napa-net.org/industry-content/accolades-home/napa-accolades-topdcadvisor-teams/napa-topdcadvisorteams---2025/
