ALWAYS among the top providers in terms of sheer response numbers, NISA once again has many clients responding to this survey. The firm’s score for overall offering is improved in a year and is now number one in the survey—an admirable 4.73 out of 5.00—which is doubly impressive given the firm’s high response level. In fact, NISA’s scores are high enough this year to place it among the top five in all seven survey categories, including top spots on the league tables for its scores for new ideas and solutions and funded status attribution.
