Working with a highly-rated adviser does not ensure that a client or prospective client will experience a higher level of performance or results. These ratings should not be construed as an endorsement of the adviser by any client, nor are they representative of any one client’s evaluation. Neither the firm nor any adviser paid a fee for the award. Information about the criteria used in making these rankings is available by clicking here
