Cheers!

A New Year, A New Day. (The text appears in bold text above a pair of mountains photographed at morning.)

It's the first sunrise of a new year, and light shines on you. (A young, long-haired brunette woman wearing a long robe or sweater and jeans sits cross-legged on a wooden dock. She’s looking out at a peaceful lake and the forest beyond. Beyond the frame of the photo, we see an illustration of a mountain in white against a light blue background.)

Illuminating new adventures, new paths, and new opportunities. (Two images: in the foreground, a bespectacled woman with a short bob hairstyle smiles broadly. She’s dressed in business casual and standing in front of a white desk, a wall covered with sticky notes, and a metal briefcase. In the background, a young mother and father play with their young son among empty cardboard boxes. The father is bald with a dark beard and seated behind them. Mother has long dark hair and is pushing her son in a cardboard box in what appears to be the house they’ve just moved into. The son has his hands in the air and appears overjoyed as his cardboard car slides across the hardwood floor. Beyond these photos, the mountains and a sunrise appear with blue and yellow backgrounds.)

As you follow the sun toward your dreams and desires, building the future you hope for, and becoming who you were meant to be. (Two images: in the foreground, three middle-aged men appear to be working together in a library or an office with bookcases. They assemble around a table that is strewn with books and an open laptop. These gentlemen appear to be enjoying working together. In the background, a middle-aged woman with hennaed hair stands with a pair of binoculars in what appears to be a sylvan area. She is wearing a plaid shirt and a blue puffy vest. Outside of these images, the mountains and a sunrise appear with yellow background.)

It's an honor to walk with you. (In a vast hilly area covered in grass and the mists of early morning, we see the silhouette of three cyclists giving each other high-fives. The cyclists are wearing helmets. In the distance, the sun has risen to illuminate a beautiful morning. Outside of this image, the mountains and a sunrise appear with yellow background.)

Wishing you all the best in this New Year. (This text is surrounded by the rest of the mountain illustration.)

AdvisoryHQ uses a multi-step selection methodology for identifying, researching, and generating its list of top ranked firms. AdvisoryHQ’s review and ranking articles are always 100% independently researched and objectively written.

Firms do not pay for their ranking. In fact, most firms do not even realize that they are being reviewed and ranked by AdvisoryHQ until after their reviews have been completed and published to the public. Below is a step-by-step overview of AdvisoryHQ’s methodology process.

Step 1: Using publicly available sources, AdvisoryHQ identifies a wide range of firms that are providing services in a designated area (city, state, or local geographic location).

Step 2: AdvisoryHQ’s review team then applies initial methodology filters to narrow down the list of identified firms/products. These filters include company strengths, trustworthiness, transparency, professional reputation, managed asset, ROI/ROA effectiveness, fee structure, what customers/clients are saying about the organization, and many more.

Step 3: After trimming down the initial list, AdvisoryHQ then conducts a deep-dive assessment of the remaining firms. The award criteria takes into account a range of factors, including experience level, level of customization, site quality, resources, features, range of provided services, innovation, value-added, and many more factors, to build up a broad picture of what each firm or product has to offer, before the final selection process occurs.

Step 4: Based on the results of the performed assessment, AdvisoryHQ’s research and selection team then finalizes the list of entities that make it into its top rated publications, which are then published to the general public.

*Please Note: Limitations: Neither rankings nor recognitions by unaffiliated rating services, publications, media, or other organizations, nor the achievement of any professional designation, certification, degree, or license, membership in any professional organization, or any amount of prior experience or success, should be construed by a client or prospective client as a guarantee that the client will experience a certain level of results if the investment professional or the investment professional’s firm is engaged, or continues to be engaged, to provide investment advisory services. A fee was not paid by either the investment professional or the investment professional’s firm to receive the ranking. The ranking is based upon specific criteria and methodology (see ranking criteria/methodology). No ranking or recognition should be construed as an endorsement by any past or current client of the investment professional or the investment professional’s firm. ANYQUESTIONS: Column’s Chief Compliance Officer remains available to address any questions regarding rankings and/or recognitions, including the criteria used for any reflected ranking.
