2020 Five Star Wealth Managers

Del Mar, CA - February, 2020

In September 2019, Five Star Professional completed an interview process to determine 2020 Five Star Wealth Managers. Weatherly’s senior team, including Carolyn Taylor, Brent Armstrong, and Kelli Ruby all received this inclusion to participate. Upon completion, all three advisors were named 2020 Five Star Wealth Managers.

The Five Star Wealth Manager award, administered by Crescendo Business Services, LLC (dba Five Star Professional), is based on 10 objective criteria. Eligibility criteria – required: 1. Credentialed as a registered investment adviser or a registered investment adviser representative; 2. Actively employed as a registered investment adviser or as a principal of a registered investment adviser firm for a minimum of 5 years; 3.

Had more than a total of three settled or pending complaints led against them and/or a total of five settled, pending, dismissed or denied complaints with any regulatory authority or Five Star Professional’s consumer complaint process.

Individually contributed to a financial settlement of a customer complaint; D. Filed for personal bankruptcy within the past 11 years; E.

The Five Star Wealth Manager award program recognizes and promotes wealth managers.  Five Star Wealth Manager candidates were identified by one of three sources; firm nomination, peer nomination or pre-qualification based on industry standing.  Five Star Professional notified advisors of their candidacy for the award via an email solicitation. Weatherly provided data in the form of an online survey submission and each advisor participated in a phone interview to confirm personal information.  Neither Weatherly nor its employees were required to be a member of an organization to be eligible to receive the award.  No payment was required of Weatherly to be considered for the award or to be named a Five Star Wealth Manager.  Once awarded, wealth managers may opt to purchase additional profile ad space or related award promotional products.  Weatherly purchased additional profile ad space in the Wall Street Journal and digital and hard-copy reprints.

Wealth managers do not pay a fee to be considered or placed on the final list of Five Star Wealth Managers. The award does not evaluate quality of services provided to clients. The Five Star award is not indicative of the wealth manager’s future performance. Wealth managers may or may not use discretion in their practice and therefore may not manage their client’s assets. The inclusion of a wealth manager on the Five Star Wealth Manager list should not be construed as an endorsement of the wealth manager by Five Star Professional. Working with a Five Star Wealth Manager or any wealth manager is no guarantee as to future investment success, nor is there any guarantee that the selected wealth managers will be awarded this accomplishment by Five Star Professional in the future.  Five Star Professional is not an advisory firm, and the contents of the advertisement should not be construed as financial advice.   For more information on the Five Star award and the research/selection methodology, go to www.fivestarprofessional.com.  Five Star considered 2,018 San Diego wealth managers for the award; 219 (11 percent of candidates) were named 2020 Five Star Wealth Managers.

Five Star Professional conducts a regulatory review of each nominated wealth manager using the Investment Advisor Public Disclosure (IAPD) website.  Five Star Professional also uses multiple supporting processes to help ensure that a favorable regulatory and complaint history exists.  Data submitted through these processes was applied per the above criteria:  1) each wealth manager who passes the Five Star Professional regulatory review must attest that they meet the definition of a favorable regulatory history, based on the criteria listed above; 2) Five Star Professional promotes via local advertising the opportunity for consumers to confidentially submit complaints regarding a wealth manager; and 3) Five Star Professional contacted approximately 1 in 12 households identified as having a high propensity to use the services of wealth managers in order to provide consumers the opportunity to submit complaints regarding a wealth manager.

Receipt of this award is not representative of any one client’s experience and is not indicative of Weatherly’s future performance.  Weatherly is not aware of any facts that would call into question the validity of the award or the appropriateness of advertising the award.
