Five Star Professional Recognizes Matt Teeple of Teeple Wealth Management as a 2016 Five Star Wealth Manager Award Winner
Brownsburg, IN (PRWEB) September 07, 2016 -- Matt Teeple, Teeple Wealth Management is featured in a special section of the October issue of Indianapolis Monthly as a 2016 Five Star Wealth Manager award winner.
Five Star Professional partnered with Indianapolis Monthly to identify and showcase an exclusive group of wealth managers who have demonstrated excellence in their field.
"This award is validation to me that what we're doing is working very well and is valued by our clients and the wealth management community at large. It takes creativity and intentionality to make sure we put our clients first in ways that other firms would never even consider. And we go to great lengths to ensure we're giving the best financial advice possible. This gives our clients peace of mind knowing that we're a team and we're working together for them,” says Matt Teeple of Teeple Wealth Management.
The 2016 Five Star Wealth Manager award winners have been carefully selected for their commitment to providing quality services to their clients. The award is based on an in-depth research process incorporating peer and firm feedback with objective criteria such as client retention rates, client assets administered, industry experience and regulatory and complaint history.
"When I first got into this profession, I sat down with my manager on my first day there and during the conversation asked him how many clients he had. When he said he had no idea but somewhere near one thousand, I couldn't believe it. How could he be relational and proactive with all of them? I remember thinking at the time that if I ever had the chance to do it differently, I would. Fast forward several years, and I was blessed to have the opportunity to start my own venture. And the first thing I did, both for me and any advisor who ever came to work with me, was institute a client-cap per advisor. This strategy won't maximize my bottom line, but it will certainly help maximize the bottom line for my clients. And that's what we're all about at Teeple Wealth Management. Always putting our clients first,” says Matt.
“The research behind this award is extensive with each wealth manager being thoroughly vetted from numerous angles. We are proud to showcase these distinguished professionals,” stated Jonathan Wesser, Research Director, Five Star Professional.
