QUALITATIVE RANKINGS OF INDUSTRY ROLE MODELS
Forbes’ rankings, developed by SHOOK Research, are the only advisor rankings with a focus on quality, including surveying and interviewing advisors in-person and virtually. Rankings are based on an algorithm of qualitative data collected through these surveys and interviews to evaluate best practices, level of service, investing models, and compliance records, as well as quantitative data such as revenue trends and AUM.
SHOOK Research prides itself on recognizing the most outstanding financial advisors in the business and creating rankings of role models – advisors that are leading the way in offering best practices and providing a high-quality experience for clients. Unlike other advisor rankings, SHOOK is not a “robo-ranker” and is completely independent and objective – they do not receive compensation from financial advisors, their firms, or the media in exchange for rankings. They believe that production and asset numbers don’t tell the whole story and that a focus on both qualitative and quantitative factors is imperative.
