America’s Top-Ranked 100 Women Financial Advisors List 2014

Recently, the Financial Times released its inaugural Top 100 Women Financial Advisers in America list for 2014, developed in collaboration with Ignites Distribution Research, a sister company of the FT.

To be considered for the influential FT 100 female financial advisors in the United States list, Financial Times and Ignites Distribution Research decided that an adviser needed to have at least 10 years experience and $200 million or more in assets under management.  If you’re looking for the best business  websites for CEOs and other and executives of companies.

Candidates were graded on adviser assets under management (AUM), industry certification, asset growth, compliance record, online accessibility, and years of experience.

“We aimed to provide a picture of leading women financial advisers for discerning readers: it is not comprehensive, but as good as one can find,” FT noted.

Here are America’s best women financial advisors list 2014:
