The initial consultation provides an overview of financial planning concepts. You will not receive written analysis and/or recommendations.
Forbes rankings are developed by SHOOK Research and are created using an algorithm that includes both qualitative (in-person, virtual and telephone due diligence meetings; client impact; industry experience; review of best practices and compliance records; and firm nominations) and quantitative (assets under management and revenue generated for their firms) data. Investment performance is not a criterion because client objectives and risk tolerances vary, and advisors rarely have audited performance reports. Certain awards include a demographic component to qualify. These rankings for each applicable year are based on the opinions of SHOOK Research, LLC, are not indicative of future performance or representative of any one client’s experience and are based on data from the previous two calendar years. Neither Ameriprise Financial nor its financial advisors pay a fee in exchange for these rankings or their use. Ameriprise Financial and/or its financial advisors can pay Forbes/SHOOK Research for additional advertising-related materials. For more information: www.SHOOKresearch.com.

Barron’s generates its rankings from a formulaic analysis of surveys answered by candidates regarding assets, revenue, and quality of practice, including an advisor’s regulatory and compliance record. Certain awards include a demographic component to qualify. This award for each applicable year is based on data from the previous two calendar years and is not indicative of this advisor’s/team’s future performance. Neither Ameriprise Financial nor its advisors pay a fee to Barron’s in exchange for the ranking or its use. Ameriprise Financial and/or its financial advisors can pay Barron’s for additional advertising-related materials. Barron’s is a registered trademark of Dow Jones, L.P.; all rights reserved.
The Ameriprise Client Experience Award is earned by a practice based on four measurable statistics that reflect the value of goal-based advice to our clients: Client Experience Rating; percentage of clients over a certain asset level in Advice Relationships; percentage of clients over a certain asset level with regular contact and, once the practice has exceeded a minimum amount of Net Flows, the percentage of Net Flows derived from Assets Under Management.
The AdvisorHub Advisors to Watch lists are generated using a combination of (i) scale, relative size of assets, production and quality of service; (ii) growth, relative year-over-year change in assets, clients and production; and (iii) professionalism, which includes regulatory record, community involvement, mentorship and team makeup. The number of advisors placed on each list can vary from year to year. Certain awards include a demographic component to qualify. These awards for each applicable year are based on data from the previous two calendar years and are not indicative of this advisor’s/team’s future performance. Neither Ameriprise Financial nor its advisors pay a fee to AdvisorHub in exchange for the ranking or its use. Ameriprise Financial and/or its financial advisors can pay AdvisorHub for additional advertising-related materials.
The Five Star Wealth Manager award (the “FSWM award”) is administered by Crescendo Business Services, LLC (dba Five Star Professional). Data for the FSWM award was gathered during the current or prior year. Wealth managers do not pay a fee to be considered or placed on the final list of Five Star Wealth Managers. Once awarded, wealth managers may purchase marketing materials from Five Star Professional, including additional profile ad space or promotional products. Eligibility criteria – required: 1. Credentialed as a registered investment adviser or a registered investment adviser representative; 2. Actively licensed as a registered investment adviser or as a principal of a registered investment adviser firm for a minimum of 5 years; 3. Favorable regulatory, complaint, employment, bankruptcy and felony review (as defined by Five Star Professional); 4. Fulfilled their firm review based on internal standards; 5. Accepting new clients. Evaluation criteria – considered: 6. One-year client retention rate; 7. Five-year client retention rate; 8. Noninstitutional discretionary and/or non-discretionary client assets administered; 9.

For more information on the FSWM award and the research/selection methodology, go to https://fivestarprofessional.com/ref/research/WM_ResearchMethodology.pdf. FSWM award candidates are identified by one of three sources: firm nomination, peer nomination or pre-qualification based on industry standing. The FSWM award does not evaluate the quality of services provided and is not indicative of the wealth manager’s future performance. Wealth managers may or may not use discretion in their practice and therefore may not manage their client’s assets. The inclusion of a wealth manager on the Five Star Wealth Manager list should not be construed as an endorsement of the wealth manager by Five Star Professional or this publication. Working with a Five Star Wealth Manager or any wealth manager is no guarantee as to future investment success, nor is there any guarantee that the selected Five Star Wealth Managers will be awarded this accomplishment by Five Star Professional in the future.
