Proud to be a Forbes Best-in-State Wealth Management Team

We are proud to be recognized by Forbes in 2023 and 2024 as a Best-in-State Wealth Management Team.

The 2020 Forbes "Best-In-State Wealth Advisors" award was announced January 2020. Data as of 6/30/2019. The award was developed by SHOOK Research and is based on in-person and telephone due diligence meetings to evaluate each advisor qualitatively, a major component of a ranking algorithm that includes: client retention, industry experience, review of compliance records, firm nominations; and quantitative criteria, including: assets under management and revenue generated for their firms. Investment performance is not a criterion because client objectives and risk tolerances vary, and advisors rarely have audited performance reports. Rankings are based on the opinions of SHOOK Research, LLC and not indicative of future performance or representative of any one client’s experience. Neither Forbes nor SHOOK Research receive compensation in exchange for placement on the ranking. The financial advisor does not pay a fee to be considered for or to receive this award.

Investment performance is not a criterion because client objectives and risk tolerances vary, and advisors rarely have audited performance reports.
