*FORBES TOP 250 WEALTH ADVISORS FOR 2017 / FORBES BEST IN STATE WEALTH ADVISORS FOR 2018 rankings are for Randy Conner of Churchill Management Group (“CMG”). CMG did not pay a fee to participate in the Rankings, but may purchase reprints of the Forbes articles. The rankings, which were developed by Forbes’ partner Shook Research, are each based on in-person and telephone due-diligence meetings and a ranking algorithm for advisors who have a minimum of seven years of experience. The ranking algorithms are based on quality of practice learned through telephone and in-person interviews, client retention, industry experience, review of compliance records, firm nominations; and quantitative criteria, including: assets under management and revenue generated for their firms. Investment performance is not a criterion because client objectives and risk tolerances vary, and advisors rarely have audited performance reports. Rankings are based on the opinions of SHOOK Research, LLC which does not receive compensation from the advisors or their firms in exchange for placement on a ranking. The State Ranking is limited to advisors in the State of California..
