We are excited to announce that Woodstock Corporation was named to CNBC’s list of “Top 100 Fee Only Wealth Management Firms for 2015.” Notably, Woodstock Corporation was the only Boston-based firm selected, and one of only four wealth and asset management firms from New England.
The CNBC Digital editorial team, along with Meridian-IQ, used the following ranking methodology for its Top 100 Fee-Only Wealth Management Firms rankings. Scores for each measure listed below were weighted according to a proprietary formula to arrive at the rankings:
- Assets management (under).
- Having staff with professional designations such as a CFP or CFA.
- Working with third-party professionals such as attorneys or CPAs.
- Average account size.
- Growth of assets.
- Years in business.
- Number of advisory clients.
- Providing advice on insurance solutions.
As a final step to create the “Top 100 Fee-Only Wealth Management Firms” list, CNBC.com applies an AdviceIQ Regulatory Compliance Review process to the master list. The RCR process is a due-diligence process whereby each advisory firm is compared to the RCR database of all regulatory actions from all for primary regulators: SEC, FINRA, state regulators and state insurance commissioners. In order to pass the RCR process, an advisory firm cannot have any complaints, actions or disclosures from any of the above regulators.
