Wealth managers do not pay a fee to be considered or awarded. The Five Star award is not indicative of the wealth manager’s future performance.  The wealth manager may or may not use discretion in their practice and therefore may not manage their clients’ assets.  The inclusion of a wealth manager on the Five Star Wealth Manger list should not be constituted as an endorsement of the wealth manager.  Working with a Five Star Wealth Manager or any wealth manager is not a guarantee of future investment success, nor is there any guarantee that the selected wealth mangers will be awarded this accomplishment by Five Star Professional in the future.  Once awarded, wealth managers may purchase additional profile ad space or promotional products. The award methodology does not evaluate the quality of services provided and is not indicative of the winner’s future performance.
