New Jersey's Gateway Advisory Joins the NRP Network

Online, May 25, 2010 (Newswire.com) - San Juan Capistrano, CA - May 20, 2010 - National Retirement Partners (NRP) has brought on Paul DeRosa's Gateway Advisory in Westfield, NJ. The nine person team, previously a top producing wirehouse group, made the move to independence and chose NRP for its value added services, retirement tools and fiduciary advocacy.

"After much research NRP was the obvious choice for our team," DeRosa said of the move, "We required a broker/dealer that could not only support our individual clients but truly understand and support the needs of our retirement plan clients. NRP's top tier advisor group and industry leading tools confirmed our decision"

The hybrid broker/dealer model was also an attraction for Gateway. Firms can use both NRP Financial as well as NRP Advisors, a Registered Investment Advisor. The elite network confirmed that Gateway Advisory was a perfect addition to the current robust line-up of member firms.

"Paul and his team are very knowledgeable advisors," commented NRP CEO, Bill Chetney, "They are obviously dedicated to their clients and the industry and we're ecstatic to have them on board." Chetney added, "This is a big win for NRP and solidifies our firm as the nation's leading retirement plan consulting network."
