The Forbes ranking of Best-In-State Wealth Advisors, developed by SHOOK Research, is based on an algorithm of qualitative criteria gained through telephone, virtual and in-person due diligence interviews and quantitative data. To be considered advisors must have a minimum of seven years of experience, and the algorithm weighs factors including revenue trends, assets under management, compliance records, industry experience and adherence to best practices in working with clients. Portfolio performance is not a criterion and neither Forbes nor SHOOK receive a fee in exchange for rankings.
