The Working Mother/SHOOK Research’s “Top Wealth Advisor Moms” list considers wealth advisors who are mothers with children
living at home and under the age of 18. The ranking algorithm is based on qualitative measures derived from interviews and

etc.; and quantitative criteria, such as assets under management and revenue generated for their firms. Rankings are based on the
opinions of Working Mother and not representative nor indicative of any one client’s experience, future performance or investment
outcome and should not be construed as an endorsement of the advisor.

telephone and in-person interviews, client retention, industry experience, credentials, review of compliance records, firm nominations;
and quantitative criteria, such as: assets under management and revenue generated for their firms. Investment performance is not a
