WEST CHESTER, Pa., March 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Key Financials’ CEO, Patti Brennan has claimed the #5 spot – up from #7 last year, in the Barron's Top 1,200 Advisors State by State ranking. The annual Top 1,200 ranking highlights Top Advisors from all 50 states, plus the District of Columbia. This ranking is the largest, most comprehensive of all of Barron’s annual rankings. It includes a cross-section of private wealth advisors, from independent advisors like Brennan, who own and operate their own practices, to advisors from the large Wall Street firms.
The annual ranking is assembled from extensive research examining assets under management, revenue generated by advisors for their firms, and quality of the advisors' practices. Investment performance is a case by case basis; however, evaluations include examination of regulatory records, internal company documents, and 100-plus points of data provided by the advisors themselves.
Patti Brennan has been a standout in the Barron's rankings every year for over 17 years. She is also recognized in the prestigious list of Barron’s Hall of Fame. As one of only 175 Advisors on this national ranking list, Brennan acknowledges that it is the hard work of every single member of her team that made this achievement possible. "Our national and global economies are still in a fragile state right now and my team is working tirelessly to make sure we are creating buffers for our clients to stay ahead of the worries of a possible recession. Domestically, we have rising inflation and globally the Russian war on Ukraine is creating significant shifts in the markets, complicating rising European inflation. Whether it is listening to a client’s concerns about war or rebalancing a portfolio - I am proud of each and every team member who is sensitive to the stress clients are feeling and doing whatever it takes to be a calming presence in the storm”. Brennan states that she is also grateful to Barron’s for providing unbiased reporting to help educate advisors during this tumultuous time.
