Barron's Hall Of Fame 2021 List
Source: The Barron’s “Hall of Fame” list, published throughout 2021 and based on Barron’s rankings received over the prior 10 years. The Barron’s Hall of Fame recognizes those advisors who have appeared at least 10 times on one of Barron’s annual Top 100 Advisor rankings. Those rankings are: Top 100 Advisors, Top 100 Women Advisors, and Top 100 Independent Advisors. Advisors considered for the Top 100 Advisors rankings have a minimum of seven years financial services experience and have been employed at their current firm for at least one year. Financial Advisors are quantitatively ranked based on varying types of revenues and assets advised by the financial professional, with weightings associated for each. Because individual client portfolio performance varies and is typically unaudited, these rankings focus on customer satisfaction and quality of advice. The rankings may not be representative of any one client’s experience because they reflect a sample of all of the experiences of the Financial Advisor’s clients. The rankings are not indicative of the Financial Advisor’s future performance. Neither Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC nor its Financial Advisors or Private Wealth Advisors pays a fee to Barron's in exchange for inclusion on the “Hall of Fame” list or any of its rankings.
