Source: Barrons.com (April 2021). Barron’s Top 100 Private Wealth Advisory Teams bases its ratings on qualitative criteria: professionals with a minimum of seven years of financial services experience, acceptable compliance records, client retention reports, customer satisfaction, and more. Financial Advisors are quantitatively rated 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, this rating focuses on customer satisfaction and quality of advice. The rating may not be representative of any one client’s experience because it reflects a sample of all of the experiences of the Financial Advisor’s clients. The rating is not indicative of the Financial Advisor’s past or future performance.

Worth editors receive thousands of nominations nationwide from Worth readers and investment professionals. Nominated advisors are then asked to complete an extensive survey. All credentials and designations are verified and nominee compliance records are verified. For more information on ranking methodology, go to https://www.worth.com/Index.asp. The rating may not be representative of any one client's experience because it reflects a sample of all of the experiences of the Financial Advisor's clients. The rating is not indicative of the Financial Advisor's future performance. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC does not pay a fee to Worth magazine in exchange for the rating.
