Columbus, OH — Nationwide Retirement Solutions, a business unit of Nationwide Financial Services, Inc., today announced that the states of New Mexico and Florida have renewed their deferred compensation program contracts until 2019, and 2016 respectively. Nationwide will provide recordkeeping, marketing and education services for the plans’ combined 44,127 participants and $1.3 billion in assets.
“We’re excited about the opportunity to continue these relationships,” said Anne Arvia, senior vice president of Retirement Plans for Nationwide Financial. “We look forward to continuing to work closely with these plans to offer the services and support their participants need to reach their retirement goals.”
