BFSG’s CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professionals, Michael Allbee, CFP® and Paul Horn, CFP®, CPWA®, were invited to be guest speakers for the “It’s Your Money!” workshop series. For the “Investment World” session, Mike and Paul focused on how the investment world gets compensated. Learn the differences between brokers versus advisors, what does the word “fiduciary” mean, how to find an advisor, and most importantly how certain products are sold, and the way brokers/dealers are paid. Watch the replay by clicking here.

The “It’s Your Money!” workshop series is hosted by Peter Kote for his not-for-profit Financial & Estate Literacy. These workshops educate seniors to take control of their #financial, #estate, and #charitablegiving decisions.

This year, as in years past, nominees—more than 500 of them—were asked to respond to a series of questions, both quantitative and qualitative, about their experience and practice, as well as their accomplishments, their contributions to the industry, the state of workplace retirement plans, and in what way(s) they “give back.” Those questionnaires were then reviewed and scored by a panel of judges who, over the course of several weeks, selected the women we honor today.

Benefit Financial Services Group (BFSG), a multi-faceted registered investment advisory firm serving both institutional and individual clients, is pleased to announce it has been ranked in Barron’s “Top 100 Institutional Consulting Teams” for 2022. The Barron’s listing can be seen here.

This annual ranking is performed by Barron’s. Registered Investment Advisors, Institutional Consultants, and Wealth Management Firms complete a questionnaire about their practice. Barron’s verifies the data
with the advisors’ firms and with regulatory databases and then they apply their rankings formula to the data to generate a ranking. The formula features three major categories of calculations: (1) Assets (2) Revenue (3) Quality of practice. In each of those categories they do multiple sub calculations. Barron’s measures the growth of advisors’ practices and their client retention. They also consider a wide range of qualitative factors aimed at capturing the resources that advisors devote to creating a high-quality experience and assessing their actual track record of serving clients well. The qualitative measures include regulatory records, team resources, work experience, and advanced credentials. For more information about Barron’s methodology, click here.
