Stephan Cassaday Makes Barron's Top Independent Advisor List for the 10th Consecutive Year
McLean, Virginia (PRWEB) September 19, 2017 -- Stephan Cassaday, Founder and CEO of Cassaday & Company, Inc., is 12th on the Top 100 Independent Financial Advisors in the nation according to Barron’s, the world’s premier investing publication, published by Dow Jones & Company.
This is the tenth consecutive year Cassaday has made this list, and the third honor from Barron’s in 2017; previous awards include:
• Barron’s Top 1,200 Financial Advisors - #1 advisor in Virginia
• Barron’s Top 100 Financial Advisors - The most comprehensive list
One of the first financial advisors in the industry to become independent, Cassaday left his senior management position with a major New York Stock Exchange firm to launch Cassaday & Company, Inc. in 1993. His vision of providing objective, client-focused advice free from corporate agendas and interests has been the firm’s guiding principle for the past 24 years.
“I attribute all of our success to our outstanding employees who are our greatest resource,” said Cassaday. “We pride ourselves on working together to maintain a culture of excellence and integrity by adhering to the highest standards and acting in the best interest of our clients, 100 percent of the time,” continued Cassaday. “We are grateful that our clients recognize what differentiates us and they continue to place their trust in Cassaday & Company, Inc.”
Barron’s Top 100 Independent Financial Advisors ranking is determined by a rigorous assessment process, with firms from all 50 states and the District of Columbia undergoing examination. The volume of assets overseen by advisors and their teams, revenues generated for the firms, and the quality of advisors’ practices – including investment philosophy, business practices, and contributions to the community – are all evaluated. Investment returns are not a component of the rankings, as returns are largely dictated by the risk tolerance and goals of clients.
