In a consumer study about dynamics between wealth<br />

managers and their clients, <strong>Five</strong> <strong>Star</strong> <strong>Professional</strong> polled<br />

wealth managers and consumers about communications. Both<br />

groups said that connecting three to four times a year is the<br />

right communications strategy, but expectations are not<br />

aligned in all areas:<br />

• 29 percent of consumers want to be contacted by their<br />

wealth manager whenever events require an update; only 7<br />

percent of wealth managers say they contact clients based<br />

on the impact of events.<br />

• 63 percent of consumers say they receive the right amount<br />

of communication from their wealth manager.<br />

From research conducted by <strong>Five</strong> <strong>Star</strong> <strong>Professional</strong>, April 2011.<br />

<strong>Wealth</strong> managers, broadly defined, are those<br />

individuals who help you manage your financial<br />

world and/or implement aspects of your financial<br />

strategies. Common examples of wealth managers<br />

<strong>Five</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />

<strong>Wealth</strong> <strong>Managers</strong><br />

are financial advisors, financial planners, investment<br />

advisors, tax advisors and estate planning attorneys.<br />

How do you find a wealth manager with experience, who<br />

has a good base of clients with high retention rates, and<br />

who has undergone a regulatory and complaint review?<br />

And when you find them, are they accepting new clients?<br />

Memphis magazine and <strong>Five</strong> <strong>Star</strong> <strong>Professional</strong> partnered to<br />

find wealth managers who satisfy 10 objective eligibility<br />

and evaluation criteria that are associated with wealth<br />

managers who provide quality services to their clients.<br />

Among many distinguishing attributes, the average oneyear<br />

client retention rate for this year’s award winners is<br />

more than 96 percent.<br />

Don’t listen to other people. Investigate<br />

for yourself. Be wary of advisers who say<br />

they never had a down year.”<br />

— <strong>Five</strong> <strong>Star</strong> <strong>Wealth</strong> Manager<br />

The 2012 <strong>Five</strong> <strong>Star</strong> <strong>Wealth</strong> <strong>Managers</strong> are a select group, representing less than 6 percent of the wealth<br />

managers in the Memphis area. (1)<br />

Although this list is a useful tool for anyone looking for help in managing their financial world or<br />

implementing aspects of their financial strategies, it should not be considered exhaustive. Undoubtedly, there are many excellent<br />

wealth managers who, for one reason or another, are not on this year’s list.<br />

In order to consider a broad population of high-quality wealth managers, award candidates<br />

are identified by one of three sources: firm nomination, peer nomination or pre-qualification<br />

based on industry standing. Self-nominations are not accepted. Memphis award candidates<br />

CandidateS were identified using internal and external research data, including a survey to more than<br />

2,100 registered financial services professionals and all identified financial service companies in the area that are registered with<br />

FINRA or the SEC.<br />

Insights from <strong>Five</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />

<strong>Wealth</strong> <strong>Managers</strong><br />

Wishful thinking is not<br />

planning. If you plan<br />

for the worst, you will<br />

never be unpleasantly<br />

surprised.”<br />

Clients don’t care how<br />

much you know until<br />

they know how much<br />

you care.”<br />

Only invest in<br />

something that<br />

you understand.”<br />

What matters most is<br />

how you recover from<br />

setbacks.”<br />

<strong>Five</strong> <strong>Star</strong> <strong>Professional</strong> conducts a regulatory review of each nominated wealth manager using the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure (IAPD) website. <strong>Five</strong> <strong>Star</strong> <strong>Professional</strong> also<br />

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:<br />

• Each wealth manager who passes the <strong>Five</strong> <strong>Star</strong> <strong>Professional</strong> regulatory review must attest that they meet the definition of favorable regulatory history, based upon the criteria<br />

listed above.<br />

• <strong>Five</strong> <strong>Star</strong> <strong>Professional</strong> promotes via local advertising the opportunity for consumers to confidentially submit complaints regarding a wealth manager.<br />

• <strong>Five</strong> <strong>Star</strong> <strong>Professional</strong> 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<br />

opportunity to submit complaints regarding a wealth manager. More than 4,100 households in the Memphis area were contacted.<br />

The <strong>Five</strong> <strong>Star</strong> <strong>Wealth</strong> Manager selection criteria was updated for the 2012 award year. 2005 – 2011 <strong>Five</strong> <strong>Star</strong> <strong>Wealth</strong> <strong>Managers</strong> scored highest in overall satisfaction based on feedback<br />

from clients, peers and industry experts. No more than 7 percent of wealth managers receive the award each year. The selection process for the 2005 – 2011 award winners can be<br />
