About the Research Process

Candidates for the award are judged on ten eligibility and evaluation criteria that are associated with providing quality services to clients. These criteria include industry credentials, experience and assets under management, number of households served, among other factors. While 2,126 award candidates in the Baltimore area were considered for the Five Star Wealth Manager award, only 12% of the award candidates were named 2023 Five Star Wealth Managers.

This award was issued on January 1, 2023 by Five Star Professional for the time period of April 18, 2022 through October 21, 2022. Professionals do not pay a fee to be considered or placed on the final list of Five Star Wealth Managers.
