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 />

<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 />
