4. Awards & Rankings 

The Advisory Group periodically submits factual data to organizations that conduct advisor rankings. If a ranking date is not that of the current year, that is generally due to our system of rotation data submissions, we do not submit data to all organizations yearly. The Advisory Group does not submit data to organizations that require payment to be included in rankings, or require the advisor to a member or client of the ranking organization. In some but not all cases, The Advisory may pay for rights to utilize the logo of a ranking. Where the ranking is regional rather than national in scope, the region will be referenced. Many rankings are primarily based on the size of assets under management, and do not represent a comprehensive or qualitative assessment of the advisor’s work.

Third-party rankings and recognitions are no guarantee of future investment success and do not ensure that a client or prospective client will experience a higher level of performance results. These rankings should not be construed as an endorsement of the advisor by any client nor are they representative of any one client’s evaluation. The best resource to evaluate an advisor may be to ask for references. Not all advisors utilize the same level of ethics when submitting data or publicizing rankings and awards. To help you evaluate the relevance of advisor industry rankings and awards, please also review this SEC Investor Bulletin: https://www.sec.gov/oiea/investor-alerts-and-bulletins/ib_professionalhonors
