*As each would define what Peace of Mind means on a personal level. Awards & Rankings: Neither rankings and/or recognitions by unaffiliated rating services, publications, media, or other organizations, nor the achievement of any designation, certification, or license should be construed by a client or prospective client as a guarantee that he/she will experience a certain level of results if KFI is engaged, or continues to be engaged, to provide investment advisory services. Rankings published by magazines, and others, generally base their selections exclusively on information prepared and/or submitted by the recognized adviser. Payments made to Forbes/Shook and Barron’s are in consideration for permission to utilize certain benefits which may include, but are not limited to, use of logos and listing in Advisor directories. They are not required by Forbes or Barron’s as a condition to receive the rankings. We have a reasonable basis to believe that any questionnaire or survey use in preparation of third-party rankings is structured to make it equally easy for participants to provide favorable and unfavorable responses and is not designed or prepared to produce any predetermined results. Rankings are generally limited to participating advisers. Unless expressly indicated to the contrary, Key Financial did not pay a fee to be included on any such ranking. No ranking or recognition should be construed as a current or past endorsement of Key Financial by any of its clients.

The Forbes ranking of America’s Top Wealth Advisors March 2024, is based on an algorithm of qualitative and quantitative data, rating thousands of wealth advisors with a minimum of seven years of experience and weighing factors like revenue trends, assets under management, compliance records, industry experience and best practices learned through telephone and in-person interviews. There is no fee in exchange for rankings.

The Forbes ranking of America’s Top Women Wealth Advisors February 2024, developed by SHOOK Research, is based on an algorithm of qualitative data, such as telephone and in-person interviews, a review of best practices, service and investing models, and compliance records, as well as quantitative data, like revenue trends and assets under management. All advisors have a minimum of seven years’ experience. Portfolio performance is not a criterion due to varying client objectives and lack of audited data. Neither Forbes nor SHOOK receive a fee in exchange for rankings.

Forbes-Ranked Advisors (ex. Forbes Top 250 Wealth Advisors April 2023, Forbes Top Women Wealth Advisors February 2024, Forbes Best-in-State Wealth Advisors March 2024, Forbes Best-in-State, Eastern PA – High Net Worth Advisors April 2023) Methodology Summary: developed by SHOOK Research, is based on in-person and telephone due diligence meetings to evaluate each advisor qualitatively, a major component of a ranking algorithm that includes: client retention, industry experience, review of compliance records, firm nominations; and quantitative criteria, including: assets under management and revenue generated for their firms. Investment performance is not a criterion because client objectives and risk tolerances vary, and advisors rarely have audited performance reports. There is no fee in exchange for rankings. Rankings are based on the opinions of SHOOK Research, LLC and are not indicative of future performance or representative of any one client’s experience.

Barron’s publishes four individual advisor rankings each year (Top 100 Advisors April 2023, Top 100 Women Advisors June 2023, Top 100 Independent Advisors October 2022, Top 1,200 Advisors March 2024) along with three team- or firm-based rankings, Barron’s Top 100 Women Financial Advisors (2015-2023). Barron’s is a registered trademark of Dow Jones & Company, L.P. All rights reserved.

Barron’s Top 100 Women Financial Advisors (2015-2023) Methodology Summary: Barron’s bases its ratings on qualitative criteria: professionals with a minimum of 7 years financial services experience, acceptable compliance records, client retention reports, customer satisfaction, and more. Financial Advisors are quantitatively rated based on varying types of revenues and assets advised by the financial professional, with weightings associated for each. Because individual client portfolio performance varies and is typically unaudited, this rating focuses on customer satisfaction and quality of advice. The rating may not be representative of any one client’s experience because it reflects a sample of all of the experiences of the Financial Advisor’s clients. The rating is not indicative of the Financial Advisor’s future performance.

Barron’s Top 1,200 Financial Advisors (2016-2024) Methodology Summary: Barron’s state-by-state ranking of the top financial advisors in the United States. Factors included in the rankings are assets under management, revenues generated by advisors for their firms, quality of practices, and philanthropic work. Barron’s examines regulatory records, internal company documents, and extensive questionnaires filled out by the advisors themselves. Investment performance isn’t explicitly a criterion, because the advisors pursue a wide range of investment goals for their clients. A total of 1,200 advisors were ranked based on data provided by over 4,000 advisors across the nation. In the final list, advisors are ranked by state. The number of advisors included for each state was based on population. Key Financial did not pay to participate in this ranking.

Barron’s List of America’s Top Advisors Methodology Summary: Over 4,000 advisors who wish to be ranked fill out a 102-question survey about their practice, data is then applied to a ranking formula. The ranking reflects the volume of assets overseen by the advisors and their teams, revenues generated for the firms, and the quality of the advisors’ practices. The scoring system assigns a top score of 100 and rates the rest by comparing them with the top-ranked advisor.

Barron’s Hall of Fame Award:

The Barron’s Hall of Fame acknowledges advisors who have appeared in Barron’s annual Top 100 Advisor rankings for 10+ years. The Hall of Fame honors advisors who exemplify long-term success and commitment to their clients. Rankings and recognition from Barron’s are no guarantee of future investment success and do not ensure that a current or prospective client will experience a higher level of performance results and such rankings should not be construed as an endorsement of the advisor.

The Ernst and Young Entrepreneur Of The Year® Award has recognized the endeavors of exceptional men and women who create the products and services that keep our worldwide economy moving forward.
