The FIVE STAR Wealth Manager Award is presented by Crescendo, an independent third party, to assist consumers in choosing a wealth manager who provides exceptional overall client satisfaction, as rated by clients and industry peers. More than 100,000 high-net worth consumers and 10,000 financial professionals in the Boston area were surveyed by mail and phone. They were asked to evaluate only wealth managers with at least five years of professional experience whom they knew through personal experience on nine criteria: customer service, integrity, knowledge/ expertise, communication, value for fee charged, meeting of financial objectives, post-sale service and overall satisfaction.
The evaluations were scored and then each wealth manager was reviewed for regulatory actions, civil judicial actions and customer complaints. Wealth managers were then reviewed by a Blue Ribbon panel of knowledgeable professionals from the financial services industry. This comprehensive selection process resulted in identifying an elite group of wealth managers that provide exceptional customer service.
