ORLANDO, Fla., April 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Michael W. Conway, founder and CEO of Conway Wealth Group, attended the tenth-annual Barron’s Top Independent Advisors Summit, hosted by Barron’s magazine to promote best practices in the industry and the value of advice to the investing public. The invitation-only conference was held at the JW Marriot in Orlando, FL – March 14-16, 2018.
Many of the Top 100 Independent Financial Advisors in the U.S., as ranked and published in Barron’s August 28, 2017 issue, were in attendance. This annual ranking is the basis for the Top Independent Advisor’s Summit, and the advisors are chosen based on the volume of assets overseen by the advisors and their teams and the quality of the advisors’ practices. The top 100 independent advisors are comprised of Registered Independent Advisors and Advisors from Independent Broker Dealers. A total of 400 elite advisors took part in the event.
“It’s always an honor to be included among the best of industry,” said Conway. “As a firm, we look to push the industry toward helping people better align life and wealth. I think this recognition is a testament to those efforts.”
This exclusive conference is designed to promote best practices and generate new ideas across the industry. Attendees conducted workshops led by the Top 100 Independent Financial Advisors that explored current issues of importance ranging from portfolio construction and management to investing in overseas markets, managing risk, technology applications and client relations.
“Investors today are looking to generate income while protecting their portfolios against downside risk,” said Sterling Shea, Head of Advisory Programs. “These top-tier advisors have clients that depend on them to meet critical financial goals for themselves, their families, their businesses or their institutional funds. Advisors will leave this conference better equipped to do just that.”
