Five Star Wealth Managers
Special Research and Advertising Section
Five Star
Wealth Managers
In a consumer study about dynamics between wealth
managers and their clients, Five Star Professional polled
wealth managers and consumers about communications. Both
groups said that connecting three to four times a year is the
right communications strategy, but expectations are not
aligned in all areas:
are financial advisors, financial planners, investment
advisors, tax advisors and estate planning attorneys.
• 2 9 percent of consumers want to be contacted by their
wealth manager whenever events require an update; only 7
percent of wealth managers say they contact clients based
on the impact of events.
Milwaukee Magazine and Five Star Professional partnered to
find wealth managers who satisfy 10 objective eligibility
and evaluation criteria that are associated with wealth
managers who provide quality services to their clients.
Among many distinguishing attributes, the average oneyear client retention rate for this year ’s award winners is
more than 96 percent.
• 63 percent of consumers say they receive the right amount
of communication from their wealth manager.
From research conducted by Five Star Professional, April 2011.
Wealth managers, broadly defined, are those
individuals who help you manage your financial
world and/or implement aspects of your financial
strategies. Common examples of wealth managers
How do you find a wealth manager with experience, who
has a good base of clients with high retention rates, and
who has undergone a regulatory and complaint review?
And when you find them, are they accepting new clients?
Don’t listen to other people. Investigate
for yourself. Be wary of advisers who say
they never had a down year.”
— Five Star Wealth Manager
A Select
Award
The 2013 Five Star Wealth Managers are a select group, representing less than 6 percent of the wealth
managers in the Milwaukee area.(1)
Although this list is a useful tool for anyone looking for help in managing their financial world or
implementing aspects of their financial strategies, it should not be considered exhaustive. Undoubtedly, there are many excellent
wealth managers who, for one reason or another, are not on this year’s list.
Award
In order to consider a broad population of high-quality wealth managers, award candidates
are identified by one of three sources: firm nomination, peer nomination or pre-qualification
based on industry standing. Self-nominations are not accepted. Milwaukee award candidates
were identified using internal and external research data, including a survey to more than
4,700 registered financial services professionals and all identified financial service companies in the area that are registered with
FINRA or the SEC.

for the worst, you will
never be unpleasantly
surprised.”

• Wealth managers may or may not use discretion in their practice and therefore may not manage
their clients’ assets.
• The inclusion of a wealth manager on the Five Star Wealth Manager list should not be construed
as an endorsement of the wealth manager by Five Star Professional or Milwaukee Magazine.
• Working with a Five Star Wealth Manager or any wealth manager is no guarantee as to future
investment success, nor is there any guarantee that the selected wealth managers will be awarded
this accomplishment by Five Star Professional in the future.
• F ive Star Professional is not an advisory firm, and the content of this article should not be

they know how much
you care.”
Only invest in
something that
you understand.”
What matters most is
how you recover from
setbacks.”
Five Star Professional conducts a regulatory review of each nominated wealth manager using the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure (IAPD) website. Five Star Professional also
uses multiple supporting processes to help ensure that a favorable regulatory and complaint history exists. Data submitted through these processes was applied per the above criteria:

listed above.
• Five Star Professional promotes via local advertising the opportunity for consumers to confidentially submit complaints regarding a wealth manager.
• Five Star Professional contacted approximately 1 in 12 households identified as having a high propensity to use the services of wealth managers in order to provide consumers the
opportunity to submit complaints regarding a wealth manager. More than 14,500 households in the Milwaukee area were contacted.
The Five Star Wealth Manager selection criteria was updated for the 2012 award year. 2005 – 2011 Five Star Wealth Managers scored highest in overall satisfaction based on feedback
from clients, peers and industry experts. No more than 7 percent of wealth managers receive the award each year. Contact Five Star Professional at [email protected] for

less weight in the scoring. Investment performance isn’t an explicit component because not all advisors have audited results and because performance figures often are influenced more by clients’
risk tolerance than by an advisor’s investment-picking abilities.

In today's world, the only constant is change and uncertainty. "Buy and hold" gave
way to "modern portfolio theory" which is now giving way to an "institutional
portfolio model." Past investment strategies are now bubbles waiting to burst.
Fixed investments do not keep up with inflation.
No one can predict the future, but our experience and expertise will help prepare
you for uncertainty. There are smart ways to invest to help protect your savings
and grow your investments.
