As a team, we continue to meet or exceed our aggressive growth plans by almost all financial metrics. Our firms have demonstrated consistent and predictable growth with strong cash flows and low client attrition rates despite a difficult economy, which is an indicator of the continued strong demand for retirement plan services."
He concluded, "We continue to stay on track with our strategic and operational plans toward the development and implementation of our national technology platform and administrative business model across the country. We have significant momentum across the organization and I believe we are rapidly establishing NIVM as a premier retirement services company on a national level and I look forward to continued growth."
