2026 Best in State Wealth Management Teams ranking was issued by Forbes on 1/9/ 2025 for the period covering 3/31/2024-3/31/2025. To be considered, must be fully operational as a team for one year and one team member must have a minimum of seven years’ experience. The rankings were developed by Shook Research based on in-person, virtual, and telephone due diligence meetings to measure best practices, client retention, industry experience, credentials, review of compliance records, firm nominations; and quantitative criteria, such as: assets under management and revenue generated for their firms. Investment performance is not a criterion because client objectives and risk tolerances vary, and advisors rarely have audited performance reports. SHOOK’s research and rankings provide opinions intended to help investors choose the right financial advisor and are not indicative of future performance or representative of any one client’s experience. Past performance is not an indication of future results. Neither Forbes nor SHOOK Research receive compensation in exchange for placement on the ranking. For more information, visit www.forbes.com
