The Best Wealth Managers and Financial Planners in Dallas 2010

These are the top financial services professionals in the city.
By D Magazine |

How we did it—wealth managers: We asked the largest financial firms in Dallas to nominate five of their wealth managers. Each nominee had to have a minimum of five years’ financial services experience, practiced a minimum of three years with the same company, and have at least $60 million in assets under management. We then checked the nominees’ standings with the Financial Industry Regulatory Industry and the Securities and Exchange Commission to ensure that they have acceptable compliance records. Investment performance was not a criterion. Inclusion on our list is not indicative of the wealth manager’s future performance. None of the firms represented paid to have their wealth managers included on this list.

How we did it—financial planners: We asked every CFP in the Dallas-Fort Worth Chapter of the Financial Planning Association to cast an online ballot. Outside-firm votes counted more than inside-firm votes. Self-nominations were tossed out. A panel of esteemed local financial planners reviewed the list. Only CFPs made the list.
