MCLEAN, Va. (PRWEB) March 23, 2018 -- Cassaday & Company, Inc., an independent wealth management firm with more than 2.7 billion in assets under management (as of February 2018), is pleased to announce that Founder & CEO Stephan Cassaday and Principal Christopher Krell have both been named to the 2018 edition of the Financial Times 400 Top Financial Advisers. The list recognizes top financial advisers at national, independent, regional and bank broker-dealers from across the United States. This is the sixth time a Cassaday & Company, Inc. advisor has appeared on this list (2011-15, 2018).
“It’s an honor to have not one, but two advisors named to this reputable list, and also to be two of only twelve advisors named in the state of Virginia,” said Allison Felix, COO of Cassaday & Company, Inc. “Steve, Chris, and the entire Cassaday team have an unyielding dedication to helping clients achieve their goals. We’re deeply appreciative of our clients and the trust they place in our firm. To see our founder and most tenured advisor recognized for their efforts is truly rewarding for all of us here at Cassaday & Company, Inc.”
This is the sixth annual FT 400 list, produced independently by the Financial Times in collaboration with Ignites Research, a subsidiary of the FT that provides business intelligence on investment management.
Financial advisers from across the brokerage industry applied for consideration, having met a set of minimum requirements. The applicants were then graded on six criteria: assets under management (AUM); AUM growth rate; experience; advanced industry credentials; online accessibility; and compliance records. There are no fees or other considerations required of advisers who apply for the FT 400.
The final FT 400 represents an impressive cohort of elite advisers, as the “average” adviser in this year’s FT 400 has 28 years’ experience and manages $1.4 billion in assets. The FT 400 advisers hail from 38 states and Washington, D.C.
The FT 400 is one in a series of rankings of top advisers by the Financial Times, including the FT 300 (independent RIA firms) and the FT 401 (DC retirement plan advisers).
