1To qualify for the “Premier Advisors Program” at Wells Fargo Advisors, Financial Advisors must demonstrate a high level of production and a commitment to professional service. The premier advisor program represents the best of the best of advisors at Wells Fargo Advisors.  

2The Survey was conducted by Crescendo, as an independent third-party research firm.  They surveyed 95,00 consumers of the magazine and 6500 Financial Service Professionals to evaluate the 15000 candidates in the Philadelphia area as the best in client satisfaction Wealth managers.  The evaluation was based on nine criteria, including customer service, integrity, knowledge/expertise, recommendations and overall satisfaction.  After survey results are tallied they take the top scoring candidates which represent less than 7% of their market and forward to a panel to further review a sample of the selection.  Only wealth managers with five years of experience in the financial services industry are considered. The rating may not be representative of any one client’s experience because the rating reflects an average of all, or a sample of all, of the experiences of the financial adviser’s clients. The rating is not indicative of the financial advisor’s future performance. Wealth Managers may or may not use discretion in their practice and therefore may not manage their client’s assets. Please keep in mind that working with a FIVE STAR Wealth Manager is no guarantee as to the future investment success nor is there any guarantee that the selected Wealth managers will be awarded this accomplishment by Crescendo in the future.  For more information on the rating methodology, go to www.fivestarprofessional.com/wmresearch/.

Understanding the Appeal of Mutual Funds for High-Income Households

Mutual fund ownership increases directly with household income. In fact, 81% of households with incomes of $200,000 or more own mutual funds. What is it about mutual funds that attracts affluent investors?

Rethinking the Role of Household Debt

Many people aspire to pay off their home mortgages before retirement, but the housing situation and a weak economy have taken a toll on the finances of many older Americans. There are some compelling reasons why pre-retirees might want to consider maximizing their retirement plan contributions and avoid carrying large amounts of debt into retirement.

Pick Up This Split for Long-Term Retirement Income

The number of Americans aged 90 or older almost tripled from 1980 through 2010 and is projected to quadruple by 2050. As people live longer they may need to fund a longer-than-expected retirement. This article discusses how a split-annuity strategy could help provide a long-term income stream.

Variable Annuities and Your Retirement Strategy

An insurance product may appeal to pre-retirees who want to invest more of their current incomes for retirement and defer taxes on market gains. A variable annuity enables investors to pursue investment gains with the option to purchase guarantees (for an additional cost) to help protect against the downside risks of investing in the markets.
