Last week, the team at the Financial Times' Financial Advisor IQ revealed the winners of the 2022 Financial Advisor IQ Service Awards. This is the third annual iteration of the awards, and the results are based on votes (gathered between April and June) from 742 advisors. Winning service providers include asset managers, ERISA law firms, and retirement plan recordkeepers, and the awards span different AUM ranges ($100 billion and up, $20 billion to $100 billion, and under $20 billion) and categories. (For fund firms, those categories included: audio/video content; macroeconomic insights; overall content and commentary; PM letters; product lineups; sales and relationship management teams; and white papers.)
