2022, 2021, 2020 and 2019 Forbes Best in State Wealth Advisors

The Forbes ranking of Best-In-State Wealth Advisors (April 2022, February 2021, January 2020, February 2019) and developed by SHOOK Research is based on an algorithm of qualitative criteria and quantitative data. Those advisors that are considered have a minimum of 7 years of experience, and the algorithm weighs factors like revenue trends, AUM, compliance records, industry experience and those that encompass best practices in their practices and approach to working with clients. Portfolio performance is not a criteria due to varying client objectives and lack of audited data. Out of 34,925 advisors nominated by their firms, 6,500 received the award (2022); 32,725 advisors nominated with 5,224 awarded (2021); 32,000 advisors nominated with 4,000 awarded (2020); 29,334 advisors nominated with 3,477 awarded (2019).
