The Top 100 Wealth Advisors – 2008 issued by Worth Magazine. An invitation is sent to readers to nominate advisors who represent the absolute best of their profession. Worth Magazine solicits nominations from banks, wealth management and investment firms, and industry associations. Nominated advisors & others who wish to participate then complete a detailed online questionnaire in which they provide their educational and professional credentials and discuss their approaches to customer service, portfolio management, and risk. Based on the quality of these responses, and on each applicant’s insights into the current investment climate, Worth editors make the selections. Following the completion of a preliminary list, the final step involves confirming, to the extent possible, that the information the advisors provided is accurate and truthful.
