About the Research Process 

The Forbes ranking of Best-In-State Wealth Advisors is developed by SHOOK Research. Each advisor selected by SHOOK Research is chosen based on an algorithm of qualitative and quantitative criteria, including in-person interviews, industry experience, compliance records, revenue production, and assets under management. SHOOK Research is the only rating firm that interviews advisors via telephone and in person.

Portfolio performance is not an explicit component of the evaluation criteria. The award is not indicative of a professional’s future performance and may not be representative of any one client’s experience. SHOOK Research received almost 35,000 nominations based on high thresholds and qualifications. Approximately 20% were named to the final list. Learn more about the ranking methodology here
