Dan LaRosa, AIF®, QPFC

Sr. Advisor & Director of Corp. Retirement

How I Arrived at Ritholtz

As an advisor specializing in 401(k)s and other corporate retirement plans, it was easy to see that the system was broken; plan sponsors and participants pay excessive fees for non-existent consultation and financial advice. When a colleague introduced me to Kris, I realized that we shared the same principles and I knew right away that I wanted to be a part of what they’re building. The team at RWM is on the forefront of fixing what’s wrong with the investment advisory world, and I’m excited to be a part of it.

Favorite Part Of The Job

I love that my role allows me to work with employers from very different industries and walks of life. Helping them understand their fiduciary responsibilities and navigate a myriad of ERISA regulations is great, but my favorite part of the job is educating plan participants and having the opportunity to have a positive impact on their retirement.

When I'm Not Working

I live on Long Island with my wife, Lauren, our dog, Sonny, and our newest addition, Emilia. I’ve recently (and happily) been spending all my free time with my daughter, but anything extra is spent exploring the east end of the island, travelling, or going for a run with Sonny.
