*FORBES BEST-IN-STATE WEALTH ADVISORS METHODOLOGY 2022-The Forbes ranking of Best-In-State Wealth Advisors, developed by SHOOK Research, is based on an algorithm of qualitative criteria, mostly gained through telephone and in-person due diligence interviews, and quantitative data. Those advisors that are considered have a minimum of seven years experience, and the algorithm weights factors like revenue trends, assets under management, compliance records, industry experience and those that encompass best practices and approach to working with clients. Portfolio performance is not a criterion due to varying client objectives and lack of audited data. Neither Forbes or SHOOK receive a fee in exchange for rankings.
***An award based on membership and contributions to the community and free enterprise system.
**An award based on annual production ranking which is reserved for less than 1% of LPL Financials' 17,000 Financial Advisors.
