Disclosure:
Michael Yoshikami was included in Barron’s 2017 “Top 100 Independent Advisors” list. The criteria for ranking reflects assets under management, revenue that the advisors generate for their firms, and the quality of the advisor’s practices. Investment performance is not a component of the rankings because an advisor’s returns are dictated largely by the risk tolerance of advisors’ clients. The quality of practice component includes an evaluation of each advisor’s regulatory record. The scoring system assigns a top score of 100 and rates the rest by comparing them with the top-ranked advisor. Mr. Yoshikami was nominated for inclusion in the list. There are over 100 nominations, but only 100 published ranking spots. Barron’s uses a proprietary method to rank advisors based on the criteria above. Destination Wealth Management provides this data to Barron’s in the form of a survey response. Initial ranking is done by Barron’s; publicly available data is verified by Barron’s via regulatory databases, cross-checks with securities firms and conversations with individual advisors. No payment was required for nomination or inclusion in the ranking. After receiving notice of inclusion in the top 100 ranking list, Destination Wealth Management (DWM) paid Dow Jones & Company for glossy reprints of the piece; DWM also paid Dow Jones through RightsLink for permission to link to a Dow Jones WebReprint to our corporate website. No organizational memberships were required of DWM or individuals. Ranking on this list is not representative of any one client's experience and is not indicative of DWM’s future performance. DWM is not aware of any facts that would call into question the validity of the ranking or the appropriateness of advertising inclusion in this list.
