The Forbes ranking of Best-In-State Wealth Advisors, developed by SHOOK Research, was awarded to Greg Syrios in 2022 for the period of 1/1/2022 – 12/31/2024. Being a Forbes Best-In-State Wealth Advisor does not mean Greg Syrios is ranked the top advisor in the state. The ranking includes many advisors in the state that have been awarded the “best-in-state” distinction.
The ranking is based on an algorithm of qualitative criteria, mostly gained through telephone and in-person due diligence interviews, and quantitative data. Those advisors that are considered have a minimum of seven years of experience, and the algorithm weighs factors like revenue trends, assets under management, compliance records, industry experience and those that encompass best practices in their practices and approach to working with clients. Portfolio performance is not a criterion due to varying client objectives and lack of audited data. Rankings are based on the opinions of SHOOK Research, LLC and are not indicative of future performance or representative of any one client’s experience; the firm’s research and rankings provide opinions for how to choose the right financial advisor. Investors must carefully choose the right advisor for their own situation and perform their own due diligence. Ratings should not be considered an endorsement of the adviser by any client.
Neither Forbes nor SHOOK are a client of Syrios Wealth Management, nor do they receive a fee in exchange for rankings. Once placed on a ranking, advisors may choose to pay fees to Forbes and Shook for premium listing features on Forbes directory of top advisors, use of the ranking logo or reprint of the ranking.
