Finding a wealth manager who suits your needs can be a daunting task In fact many consumers have a hard time figuring out where to even begin
Sometimes a few simple questions can set one off on the right path Asking a wealth manager what makes working with him or her a unique experience can help you understand how they work and if their style meshes with your own Further asking a financial advisor to talk about any
specialties they might have can help uncover skills you might find useful
Ultimately how do you find an experienced wealth manager who you feel comfortable working with One who has high retention rates One who has undergone a thorough complaint and regulatory review One who has tenure in the industry
Seattle magazine and Five Star Professional partnered to find wealth managers who satisfy 10 objective eligibility and evaluation criteria Among many distinguishing attributes the average one-year client retention rate for this yearrsquos award winners is more than 96 percent Although this list is a useful tool for anyone looking for help in managing their financial world or implementing aspects of their financial strategies it should not be considered exhaustive Undoubtedly there are many excellent wealth managers who for one reason or another are not on this yearrsquos list
In order to consider a broad population of high-quality wealth managers award candidates are identified by one of three sources firm nomination peer nomination or pre-qualification based on industry standing Self-nominations are not accepted Seattle award candidates were identified using internal and external research data
