SagePoint Financial Congratulates Advisor Named to 2016 Financial Times 400 Top Financial Advisers List
Phoenix (PRWEB) May 05, 2016 -- SagePoint Financial today congratulated advisor Kenneth Spitzbard for his recognition on the Financial Times 400 Top Financial Advisers list. Spitzbard was recognized for the state of Connecticut on this year’s list and is a principle at Bard Financial Services.
This is the fourth annual FT 400 list, produced independently by the FT in collaboration with Ignites Research, a subsidiary of the FT. Nearly 1,000 elite financial advisors applied for consideration, having met minimum requirements for Assets Under Management (AUM) and experience. The advisor applicants were then graded on six criteria: AUM; AUM growth rate; experience; advanced industry credentials; online accessibility; and compliance records.
“We applaud Kenneth and his recognition as one of the top advisors in the country by Financial Times for 2016,” said Jeff Auld, president and CEO of SagePoint Financial. “This honor reflects his dedication to this profession and his commitment to delivering excellent quality service for his clients. His leadership and skills are greatly valued by the SagePoint team.”
The “average” advisor in this year’s FT 400 has 26 years’ experience and manages $1.6 billion in assets. The FT 400 advisors hail from 38 states and Washington, D.C.
Spitzbard has nearly three decades of experience in the financial services industry and has extensive knowledge of long-term investment allocation.
The FT 400 is one in series of rankings of top advisors that the FT developed in partnership with Ignites Research, including the FT 300 (independent RIA firms) and the FT 401 (DC retirement plan advisors).
