"This year, we celebrated our 85^th anniversary as a firm, and the support of our clients has us, for the first time, surpassing $500 billion in AUM," said Heather Zuckerman, Chief of Staff at Neuberger Berman. "Our private ownership is a point of distinction and this year we've expanded our ownership ranks, opening eligibility to include vice presidents. Currently, about 30% of our employees own equity in the firm. We are also proud to have a 97% investment professional retention rate, which reflects how we invest in our people and the firm."

"As their employees attest, the companies named to this year's Best Places to Work list demonstrate a commitment to building and maintaining a strong workplace culture,'' said P&I Editor-in-Chief Julie Tatge. "In doing so, they're helping their employees, clients and their businesses succeed.'' 

"Pensions & Investments is proud to honor the Best Places to Work in Money Management for the 13^th year.
