SOUTH COAST METRO, Calif., Oct. 14, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Golden State Wealth Management (“Golden State”), a registered investment advisor, is proud to acknowledge Sandra Cho, President of Pointwealth Capital Management, a DBA of Golden State, on her most recent accolade. Working Mother magazine and SHOOK Research1 named Sandra as one of their Top Advisor Moms for 2020. Golden State wants to congratulate Sandra on her newest achievement. We are proud to have her as part of the Golden State team.
After graduating from UC Irvine and UCLA respectively, Sandra worked at some of the largest institutions in the financial services industry and immediately made a name for herself. In 2015, she felt that it was time to go independent so that she could better serve her clients. “It is now my passion and purpose, and fiduciary responsibility, to help my clients reach the summit of their success,” said Sandra. That is when she joined Golden State Wealth Management. Since then she has garnered numerous awards including Forbes Top Female Financial Advisor 20202 and Women’s Choice Award® Financial Advisor 20193. Sandra currently resides in Southern California with her family.
“Sandra is an exceptional advisor and excellent partner for Golden State Wealth Management. Her combination of professional achievement and personal integrity are exactly what one looks for in a financial planner. We congratulate her for being awarded as one of Working Mother magazine’s Top Advisor Moms,” says Daniel R. Catone, Founder and CEO of Golden State.

1SHOOK Research considered women advisors with a child 21 or younger still living at home. Ranking algorithm is based on qualitative measures derived from telephone and in-person interviews and surveys: service models, investing process, client retention, industry experience, review of compliance records, firm nominations, etc.; and quantitative criteria, such as 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. Rankings are based on the opinions of SHOOK Research, LLC. Neither SHOOK nor Working Mother receive compensation from the advisors or their firms in exchange for placement on a ranking.
