    DISCLOSURE INFORMATION - RANKINGS AND AWARDS

    Barron's Magazine - Top 100 Independent Wealth Advisors

    According to Barron’s: The rankings are based on data provided by individual advisors and their firms. Advisor data is confirmed via regulatory databases, cross‐checks with securities firms and conversations with individual advisors. The formula Barron’s uses to rank advisors is proprietary. It has three major components: assets managed, revenue produced and quality of practice. Investment returns are not a component of the rankings because an advisor’s returns are dictated largely by the risk tolerance of clients. The quality of practice component includes an evaluation of each advisor’s regulatory record. Moreover, neither Mainstay nor any other participating advisors paid a fee to be eligible for the “Top 100 Independent Wealth Advisors." The data is based on one fiscal year (7/1/23 - 6/30/24) and appeared in Barron’s on 9/16/24.

     

    Forbes - America's Top Wealth Advisors 

    Forbes ranking of America’s Top Wealth Advisors was developed by SHOOK Research and is based on in-person, virtual and telephone due diligence meetings and a ranking algorithm that includes: a measure of best practices, client retention, industry experience, review of compliance records, firm nominations; and quantitative criteria, including: assets under management and revenue generated for their firms. Investment performance is not a criterion because client objectives and risk tolerances vary, and advisors rarely have audited performance reports. SHOOK’s research and rankings provide opinions intended to help investors choose the right financial advisor and are not indicative of future performance or representative of any one client’s experience. Past performance is not an indication of future results. Neither Forbes nor SHOOK Research receive compensation in exchange for placement on the ranking.
