*Barron’s Top 100 Women Financial Advisors bases its ratings on a proprietary analysis of the following qualitative and quantitative criteria: a minimum seven years of financial services experience, acceptable compliance record, client retention, assets under management, revenues generated, and the quality of the advisor’s practice. A portion of the ranking is based on a sampling of a financial advisor’s clients and does not represent any one client’s experience. Barron’s does not provide a count of eligible nominees for the award, citing its data as proprietary. Investment performance is not a criterion, and this recognition is not indicative of the advisor’s future performance. Your experience may vary. Before working with any financial advisor, please be sure to conduct your own due diligence and research to ensure that the relationship is right for you.
