Carolyn Taylor was featured in Barron’s Fall 2023 Big Money Poll of professional investors article. This poll allowed professionals to share their views on the financial markets, the economy, and the developments that will shape both in the year ahead. Barron’s has been conducting the Big Money Poll for nearly 30 years. The Fall 2023 Big Money Poll was published in Barron’s and on barrons.com in late October. As in the past, the Fall 2023 poll surveyed a cross-section of the nation’s top money managers.
Carolyn received an email inviting her to participate in Barron’s Fall 2023 Big Money Poll. Barron’s solicits the investment opinions of professional investors every spring and fall.
Barron’s conducted the Big Money Poll with the assistance of Erdos Media Research. Weatherly responded to the invitation by submitting answers to the online survey. As with past polls, interviews with a number of money managers who completed surveys were conducted. After Weatherly submitted the online survey, the team was contacted to schedule a phone interview with Barrons. The phone interview with Barron’s took place in mid October with Weatherly’s Carolyn Taylor and Brent Armstrong. The resulting article is available here and features comments from Carolyn and a variety of other money managers.
There was no cost to participate in the survey or interview process. Weatherly paid Dow Jones Barron’s for a digital PDF WebReprint of the article. Weatherly was not required to advertise in or subscribe to Barrons to participate in the survey or article.

Kelli Burger was an excellence awardee in the Portfolio Manager of the Year program category of the Investment News Women to Watch awards program. The InvestmentNews 2023 Women to Watch Awards celebrate excellence and the women who are making a difference in the financial services industry.
This year’s Women to Watch Awards program featured a new independent judging panel and recognized both individuals (categories: allyship champion of the year, female trailblazer of the year, Alexandra Armstrong award for lifetime achievement in the financial services industry, portfolio management of the year, rising star advisor of the year), as well as organizations (categories: employer of choice, excellence in gender diversity and inclusion). Kelli’s awardee status was shared via an article in Investment News prior to the final stages of the awards program. The methodology used is outlined below.
Methodology and the awards program process consisted of 5 stages: Stage 1 – Nominations – InvestmentNews celebrates achievements that measurably advance women in all aspects of the investment industry, at employers of all sizes. Professionals were invited to nominate themselves or third-party candidates and / or companies who exemplify these outstanding accomplishments through their leadership, passion, creativity, and willingness to help others along the way. Nominations were open from July 18 – August 18, 2023. There was no fee to submit a nomination and only the online nomination forms were accepted. Stage 2 – Research. The Women to Watch Summit and Awards team conducted research and drew on knowledge and information gained through InvestmentNews to support and supplement nominations received and to ensure that no one deserving of recognition was missed. “Excellence awardees” (shortlisted Finalists), in each category, were determined from both pools of information. Stage 3 – Excellence Awardees Once all nominations were considered and research was complete, Excellence Awardees (Finalists) were selected in each category and notified via e-mail or phone. All Excellence Awardees were invited to finalize their detailed nomination form (“submission”). These submissions were provided to the judging panel for voting, remained confidential, and not shared with any third parties other than the judges. Excellence awardees were officially announced in September 2023. Stage 4 – Judging All submissions from the Excellence Awardees were forwarded to the independent judging panel comprising mortgage and finance industry leaders and senior representatives. The panel assessed and voted for their winners in each category according to the relevant category criteria. Voting began in September-October 2023 and their judgment was impartial, balanced, incisive and fair. Any judge with a conflict of interest in a category excused themselves from judging that category. Stage 5 – Winners Using a simple points system to aggregate judges’ votes, the finalist with the top score in a category was named the winner. Winners were announced at the event on November 7, 2023.
Employees of Weatherly nominated Kelli Burger, as well as 4 other team members for different individual award categories. Of the Weatherly nominees, only Kelli made it to the 3rd stage of the program processes.
Weatherly paid Key Media for a promotional package including digital profile exposure in InvestmentNews.
Inclusion in this program 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 ranking or the appropriateness of advertising this award.

Weatherly was featured in the Del Mar Village Association’s (DMVA) small business spotlight website blog on October 31, 2023. Weatherly was invited via email to participate in the blog opportunity. The business agreed and was asked to answer a series of questions in an online survey format that are consistent with what other spotlight businesses have answered. The resulting content was then posted to DMVA’s website after a review by Weatherly’s team. DMVA later shared the blog content via email notification to their audience.
The DMVA’s 18,000 e-blast audience consists of individuals who have opted in on Del Mar Village content. The majority of DMVA e-blast subscribers reside in Southern California, with the largest concentration being north county San Diego residents.

Weatherly’s Kelli Burger and Lindsey Thompson were finalists in the 2nd Annual Women in Wealth Management Awards program. The awards were designed to celebrate and honor women in the wealth management industry, who act as an inspiration for others and who are making a difference in the profession and their communities, the release said.

This honoree has openly supported women through career advice in growing their practices, navigating through their organizations, getting paid fairly, or creating a culture of empowerment at their firm that empowers women to advance and bring their true selves to work.”
Lindsey was one of three finalists in the Backstage Star award category. This category “celebrates a woman whose quiet daily management makes everything go smoothly for the firm, the people within it and the clients it serves. These honorees have demonstrated the ability to work with multiple departments and create synergies between them, resulting in outstanding outcomes for the firm.”

Six of Weatherly’s team members were named 2023 Five Star Wealth Managers in the January 11, 2023 edition of San Diego Magazine.

Carolyn Taylor, Brent Armstrong, Kelli Ruby, Cole Hansen, Brooke Kelly, and Ryan Richardson all received invitations to participate in the program review 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. Award does not evaluate quality of services provided to clients. Once awarded, wealth managers may purchase additional profile ad space or promotional products. 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 or this publication. 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.
Weatherly did not pay Five Star for promotional materials associated with the 2023 Five Star program.
In total, 2,125 award candidates in the San Diego area were considered for the Five Star Wealth Manager award. 211 (approximately 10% of the award candidates) were named 2023 Five Star Wealth Managers; 2022: 2,084 considered, 223 winners; 2021: 6,123 considered, 459 winners; 2020: 2,018 considered, 231 winners; 2019: 1,885 considered, 224 winners; 2018: 1,498 considered, 228 winners; 2017: 1,349 considered, 349 winners; 2016: 1,337 considered, 349 winners; 2015: 1,639 considered, 350 winners; 2014: 1,838 considered, 368 winners; 2013: 1,675 considered, 417 winners; 2012: 1,014 considered, 284 winners.
Five Star Professional conducts a review of each award candidate as reported by FINRA and the SEC. For wealth managers with a CRD Number, Five Star Professional relies on the wealth manager’s FINRA BrokerCheck Report and/or the SEC Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website. For wealth managers without a CRD Number, Five Star Professional relies on Form ADV for the wealth manager’s firm. Additionally, Five Star Professional promotes, via local advertising and through their website, the opportunity to submit feedback — including whether a consumer had an unsatisfactory experience — regarding a wealth manager. Complaint data submitted in this way serves as an early alert system to unfiled consumer complaints and augments the regulatory review of reported complaints.
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.

Carolyn Taylor, Kelli Burger, Brooke Kelly, and Lindsey Thompson were nominees in the 2023 Annual San Diego Magazine’s Celebrating Women in Finance category. Carolyn was a Pioneer nominee, while Kelli, Brooke and Lindsey were Rising Star nominees. The award program recognizes one Pioneer and one Rising start in each of the 14 award categories. None of the nominees from Weatherly were winners.
The awards define a “Pioneer” as an individual that has and continues to carve a path to a brighter future. This is someone who is regarded as an expert in her industry and influences and empowers women in and beyond San Diego. A “Rising Star” is an individual that is regarded as an up-and-comer in their industry; this is someone who is actively trailblazing her way to a brighter future and setting the stage for those to follow. More background on the award categories is available here: https://sandiegomagazine.com/things-to-do/san-diego-magazines-celebrating-women-2023-nominations/
The San Diego Magazine solicited nominations via email in the form of an online survey. Members of the Weatherly team nominated Carolyn Taylor, Kelli Burger, Lindsey Fiske-Thompson, and Brooke Boone. Nominees and finalists were evaluated based on their business accomplishments and community involvement. Weatherly supplied the information for the nominations by completing the Magazine’s questionnaire. The associated “people’s choice” awards solicited votes from the general public. A panel of 4-5, unbiased, San Diego Magazine-affiliated female judges reviewed all entries and determined the top three Pioneers and top three Rising Stars in each of the 14 categories. Those 84 individuals then moved into round two (new this year), which was the People’s Choice! All 84 nominations were featured on the SD Magazine website for the public to vote on who they thought should be selected as the Pioneer and Rising Star in each category. SD magazine also selected a San Diego Magazine Pioneer of the Year and Rising Star of the Year from the full pool of nominations which was named at the Celebrating Women Summit on November 2, 2023 held at UC San Diego’s Park & Market and presented by Copia Wealth Management & Insurance Services. More about the methodology is available here: https://sandiegomagazine.com/magazine-event/san-diego-magazines-celebrating-women-summit-2023/
