The 2021 ranking of Forbes’ Best-In-State Next-Gen Wealth Advisors¹ recognizes advisors born in 1982 or later with a minimum of four years of experience. Advisors were rated based on a proprietary algorithm of qualitative and quantitative criteria: assets under management, revenues generated for their firm, client retention, industry experience, credentials, and compliance records. SHOOK Research also employs an opinion-based weighting system that prioritizes its preferred “best practices,” which include business models, activities, processes, and structure. Overall, 3,389 advisors were considered, and 500 (15 percent of candidates) were recognized. Click here for the full methodology² Forbes developed in partnership with SHOOK Research.

²Portfolio performance is not a criterion due to varying client objectives and lack of audited data. SHOOK does not receive a fee in exchange for rankings.
