5 Star Wealth Managers

Congratulations to Gil Armour, CFP and William Irwin, CLU and ChFC, on being named 5 Star Wealth Managers for 2009.  This is the 3rd consecutive year that Gil Armour has received the award.

The FIVE STAR distinction is truly an honor. The distinction is only awarded to wealth managers who have scored highest in client based research conducted by a national independent research company under the direction of Crescendo Business Services.

The distinction is awarded to a maximum of just 7 percent of financial professionals in any market area. Financial professionals are not able to "buy" their way onto the list, and the distinction is not based on sales volume but on how consumers have evaluated their experience in working with that individual.

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 




The FIVE STAR Wealth Manager award is presented to 7% of wealth managers with at least five years of experience in the financial services industry. The final list identifies the wealth managers, of those evaluated, in the local market that score highest in client satisfaction. Each wealth manager was reviewed for regulatory actions, civil judicial actions and customer complaints.

Details of the award can be viewed at www.fivestarprofessional.com.  These rankings and awards may not be indicative of future performance. Working with a highly-ranked adviser does not ensure that a client or prospective client will experience a certain level of performance or results. These rankings should not be construed as an endorsement of the adviser by any client nor are they representative of any one client’s evaluation.
