Sherri Stephens was named to the 2022 Forbes list of America’s Top Women Advisors. The list, which recognizes female advisors from national, regional, and independent firms, was released on February 4, 2021.
The Forbes ranking of America’s Top Women Advisors was developed by SHOOK Research and is based on in-person, virtual and telephone due diligence meetings to evaluate each advisor qualitatively, a major component of a ranking algorithm that includes: wealth advisors with a minimum of 7 years of experience, client impact, industry experience, review of best practices and 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. Research Summary (As of February 2022) 34,500 nominations were received, based on thresholds (9,850 Women) 18,465 Advisors were invited to complete the online survey. 13,549 Advisors were interviewed by telephone. 2,610 Advisors were interviewed in-person at the Advisors’ location and 1,203 were Advisor web-based interviews.
