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 3,629 award candidates in the Los Angeles area were considered for the Five Star Wealth Manager award, only 4% of the award candidates were named 2023 Five Star Wealth Managers.

This award was issued on December 1, 2022 by Five Star Professional for the time period of March 28, 2022 through September 23, 2022. Professionals do not pay a fee to be considered or placed on the final list of Five Star Wealth Managers.
