Forbes' 2022 Ranking of Best-In-State Wealth Advisors
Methodology

The Forbes ranking of Best-in-State Wealth Advisors, developed by SHOOK Research, is based on an algorithm of qualitative data, rating thousands of wealth advisors with a minimum of seven years' experience and weighing factors like revenue trends, assets under management, compliance records, industry experience, and best practices learned through telephone and in-person interviews. Portfolio performance is not a criteria due to varying client objectives and lack of audited data. Neither Forbes nor SHOOK receive a fee in exchange for rankings. Research summary as of April 2022: 34,925 nominations received, based on high thresholds and qualifications - 19,640 invited to complete online survey - 14,476 telephone interviews - 2,657 in-person interviews at advisor's location - 1,311 Web-based interviews.

Further Disclosure: Out of 34,925 advisors nominated, 6,585 received the award. Recognition from rating services or publications is no guarantee of future investment success or performance. Working with a highly rated advisor does not ensure that a client or prospective client will experience a higher level of performance of results. These ratings should not be construed as an endorsement of the advisor by any client nor are they representative of any one client’s evaluations. Additionally, the Firm is not aware of any undisclosed facts that would call into question the validity or appropriateness of the rating.
