*The FIVE STAR Best in Client Satisfaction Wealth Manager Program is conducted by Crescendo Business Services LLC. (Crescendo). The rating was awarded to less than 2% of the wealth managers in Connecticut, for the year 2010. 

Each wealth manager was evaluated based on surveys conducted with over 113,000 consumers as well as over 16,300 financial professionals, and are evaluated across nine different attributes-customer service, integrity, knowledge/expertise, communication, value for fee charged, meeting financial objectives, post-sale service, quality of recommendations, and overall satisfaction.  Both favorable and unfavorable evaluations are incorporated in to the overall evaluation score.  Each wealth manager is also reviewed for regulatory actions, civil judicial actions, and customer complaints as reported to FINRA.

The FIVE STAR Wealth Managers do not pay a fee to be included in the research or final list of Wealth Managers.  The score reflects an average of all respondents and may not be representative of any one client's evaluation. Working with a FIVE STAR Wealth Manager does not guarantee future investment success.

Top 100 IBD financial advisor list was produced by Discovery, an online database of financial service intermediaries published by the Financial Information Group of Shrewsbury, N.J. Discovery has created a proprietary methodology for ranking FINRA registered representatives. In this list, the advisors were ranked by assets under management using the Discovery-RR database system.

***   Barron’s Magazine Top 1000 Advisors in America

         Barron’s Top 50 Financial Advisors in Connecticut

Advisors are chosen based upon a proprietary methodology consisting of three major components: assets under management, revenue generated for their firms, quality of service and regulatory records. Investment performance is not an explicit factor, because audited performance records are not available. Total assets are all assets overseen by the adviser’s team, including some that are held at other institutions. The rankings are based on data provided by individual advisors and their firms. Advisor data is confirmed via regulatory databases, cross-checks with securities firms and conversations with individual advisors. No compensation was received from participating firms or advisors. This ranking is not indicative of the advisor's future performance.
