Brightworth named to Financial Times 300 Top Registered Investment Advisors list

Atlanta, GA - Brightworth is pleased to announce its inclusion in the inaugural Financial Times 300 Top Registered Investment Advisors (RIA) list.  Brightworth was chosen from the thousands of RIAs in the U.S. for inclusion in this prestigious list. 

 

Financial Times’ evaluation process assesses six broad factors and calculated a numeric score for each advisor or firm. Areas of consideration include AUM, AUM growth, years the firm has been in existence, industry certifications of staff, SEC compliance record, and online accessibility. The recognition is awarded to selected firms that are registered as Independent RIA firms who had $300 million or more in assets. The Financial Times rewards attributes that it determined affluent investors care about and makes sure that the list is relevant to individual investors.  This included a requirement that no more than 75% of a firm’s assets be institutional. At Brightworth, approximately 90% of assets are managed for individual investors.

Note: Third-party rankings and recognition from rating services or publications are no guarantee of future investment success. Working with a highly rated advisor does not ensure that a client or prospective client will experience a higher level of performance or results. These ratings should not be construed as an endorsement of the advisor by any client nor are they representative of any one clients' evaluation. Generally, ratings, rankings, and recognition are based on information prepared and submitted by the advisor. A more thorough disclosure of the criteria used in any of these rankings can be provided upon request.
