2012 Five Star Wealth
Man
agers
In a consumer study about dynamics between wealth managers and their clients Five Star Professional polled wealth managers and consumers about communications Both groups said that connecting three to four times a year is the right communications strategy but expectations are not aligned in all areas
bull 29 percent of consumers want to be contacted by their wealth manager whenever events require an update only 7 percent of wealth managers say they contact clients based on the impact of events
bull 63 percent of consumers say they receive the right amount of communication from their wealth manager
From research conducted by Five Star Professional April 2011
Wealth managers broadly defined are those individuals who help you manage your financial world andor implement aspects of your financial strategies Common examples of wealth managers are financial advisors financial planners investment
advisors tax advisors and estate planning attorneys
How do you find a wealth manager with experience who has a good base of clients with high retention rates and who has undergone a regulatory and complaint review And when you find them are they accepting new clients
Los Angeles magazine and Five Star Professional partnered to find wealth managers who satisfy 10 objective eligibility and evaluation criteria that are associated with wealth managers who provide quality services to their clients Among many distinguishing attributes the average one-year client retention rate for this yearrsquos award winners is more than 93 percent
Five Star Wealth Managers2012 los angeles
Donrsquot listen to other people Investi-gate for yourself Be wary of advisers who say they never had a down yearrdquo
mdash Five Star Wealth Manager
In order to consider a broad population of high-quality wealth managers award candidates are identified by one of three sources firm nomination peer nomination or pre-qualification based on industry standing Self-nominations are not accepted Los Angeles award candi-dates were identified using internal and external research data including a survey to more
than 3000 registered financial services professionals and all identified financial service companies in the area that are registered with FINRA or the SEC
candidateSaward
The resulting list of 2012 Five Star Wealth Managers is a select group representing less than 1 percent of the wealth managers in the Los Angeles area(1)
Although this list is a useful tool for anyone looking for help in managing their financial world or imple-menting aspects of their financial strategies it should not be considered exhaustive Undoubtedly there are many excellent wealth managers who for one reason or another are not on this yearrsquos list
