Accolades
In 2020, our partner, RWM Asset Management Founder Tom Ruggie, ChFC®, CFP®, was recognized for the eighth time among Barron’s Top 1,200 Financial Advisors.
The ranking takes into consideration quality of practice, assets under management, revenues, and philanthropic work, and recognizes advisors demonstrating exceptional performance, professionalism, client service and community involvement.
He was also named to Forbes Best-in-State Wealth Advisors for the second year in a row, and was ranked 5th in North Florida.
This year’s Best-In-State Wealth Advisors list spotlights more than 4,000 top advisors across the country who were nominated and then chosen based on an algorithm of qualitative and quantitative criteria, including:
- In-person interviews
- Industry experience
- Compliance records
- Revenue produced
- Assets under management
He was also ranked among the Financial Times 300 Top Registered Investment Advisors from 2016 – 18. Each year, the Financial Times—one of the world’s leading media organizations focused on international business and economic news—publishes a listing of the “300 Top Registered Investment Advisors”.
This recognition is based on data gathered from RIA firms, regulatory disclosures, and the FT’s research. The listing reflects performance in six primary areas, including assets under management, asset growth, compliance record, years in existence, credentials and accessibility.
While in and of itself, recognition from leaders and respected organizations in the field does not necessarily make one financial advisory firm better than another, we believe the hard work required of advisors to earn national attention from those leaders in our field lends credibility to the way they do business.
