“InvestmentNews 5-Star Financial Planners” was awarded by InvestmentNews in 2026. Candidates were evaluated through a nomination and research process conducted by InvestmentNews using criteria including professional accomplishments, industry experience, and client service standards. Portfolio performance was not a criterion due to varying client objectives and lack of audited data. This award is not indicative of future performance or client experience. Neither SEIA nor its advisors paid a fee to be considered for the award; however, post-award licensing or promotional fees may apply.
