Five Star
Wealth Managers
In a consumer study about dynamics between wealth
managers and their clients, Five Star Professional polled
wealth managers and consumers about communications. Both
groups said that connecting three to four times a year is the
right communications strategy, but expectations are not
aligned in all areas:
are financial advisors, financial planners, investment
advisors, tax advisors and estate planning attorneys.
• 2 9 percent of consumers want to be contacted by their
wealth manager whenever events require an update; only 7
percent of wealth managers say they contact clients based
on the impact of events.
The publishers of Texas Monthly and Five Star Professional
partnered to find wealth managers who satisfy 10 objective
eligibility and evaluation criteria that are associated with
wealth managers who provide quality services to their
clients. Among many distinguishing attributes, the average
one-year client retention rate for this year’s award winners
is more than 96 percent.
• 63 percent of consumers say they receive the right amount
of communication from their wealth manager.
From research conducted by Five Star Professional, April 2011.
Wealth managers, broadly defined, are those
individuals who help you manage your financial
world and/or implement aspects of your financial
strategies. Common examples of wealth managers
How do you find a wealth manager with experience, who
has a good base of clients with high retention rates, and
who has undergone a regulatory and complaint review?
And when you find them, are they accepting new clients?
Don’t listen to other people. Investigate
for yourself. Be wary of advisers who say
they never had a down year.”
— Five Star Wealth Manager
A Select
Award
The 2012 Five Star Wealth Managers are a select group, representing less than 4 percent of the wealth
managers in the Dallas/Fort Worth region.(1)
Although this list is a useful tool for anyone looking for help in managing their financial world or
implementing aspects of their financial strategies, it should not be considered exhaustive. Undoubtedly, there are many excellent
wealth managers who, for one reason or another, are not on this year’s list.
Award
In order to consider a broad population of high-quality wealth managers, award candidates
are identified by one of three sources: firm nomination, peer nomination or pre-qualification
based on industry standing. Self-nominations are not accepted. Dallas/Fort Worth award
candidates were identified using internal and external research data, including a survey to
more than 14,000 registered financial services professionals and all identified financial service companies in the area that are
registered with FINRA or the SEC.

Insights from Five Star
Wealth Managers
Wishful thinking is not
planning. If you plan
for the worst, you will
never be unpleasantly
surprised.”
• Wealth managers may or may not use discretion in their practice and therefore may not manage
their clients’ assets.
• The inclusion of a wealth manager on the Five Star Wealth Manager list should not be construed
as an endorsement of the wealth manager by Five Star Professional or Texas Monthly.
• Working with a Five Star Wealth Manager or any wealth manager is no guarantee as to future
investment success, nor is there any guarantee that the selected wealth managers will be awarded
this accomplishment by Five Star Professional in the future.
• F ive Star Professional is not an advisory firm, and the content of this article should not be
considered financial advice. For more information on the Five Star award and the research/
selection methodology, go to www.fivestarprofessional.com.
• (1) 2,688 award candidates in the Dallas/Fort Worth region were considered for the Five Star
Wealth Manager award. 654 (approximately 24 percent of the award candidates) were named 2012
Five Star Wealth Managers.
(2)
(3)
(4)
Wealth managers were required to certify that any information they provided was accurate.
Criteria 4, 8 and 9 do not apply to attorneys or CPAs.
As defined by Five Star Professional, the wealth manager has not:
• Been subject to a regulatory action that resulted in a license being suspended or revoked, or payment of a fine.
• Had more than a total of three customer complaints filed against them (settled or pending) with any regulatory authority or
Five Star Professional’s consumer complaint process.

Clients don’t care how
much you know until
they know how much
you care.”
Only invest in
something that you
understand.”
What matters most is
how you recover from
setbacks.”
Five Star Professional conducts a regulatory review of each nominated wealth manager using the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure (IAPD) website. Five Star Professional also
uses multiple supporting processes to help ensure that a favorable regulatory and complaint history exists. Data submitted through these processes was applied per the above criteria:
• Each wealth manager who passes the Five Star Professional regulatory review must attest that they meet the definition of favorable regulatory history, based upon the criteria
listed above.
• Five Star Professional promotes via local advertising the opportunity for consumers to confidentially submit complaints regarding a wealth manager.
• Five Star Professional contacted approximately 1 in 12 households identified as having a high propensity to use the services of wealth managers in order to provide consumers the
opportunity to submit complaints regarding a wealth manager. More than 87,500 households in the Dallas/Fort Worth region were contacted.
The Five Star Wealth Manager selection criteria was updated for the 2012 award year. 2005 – 2011 Five Star Wealth Managers scored highest in overall satisfaction based on feedback
from clients, peers and industry experts. No more than 7 percent of wealth managers receive the award each year. The selection process for the 2005 – 2011 award winners can be
found at www.fivestarprofessional.com/2011/wealth_managers_research_overview.php.

Robert D. Pearson
Client Centered, Goal Focused and Planning Driven
Area of Focus:
Comprehensive Financial
Planning
Five Star award winner Robert Pearson and Bolt
• Don’t try to time the market — look to the long term
• Be an owner, not a loaner — stock is ownership, interest comes from loaned money
• Stay diversified and don’t panic — fear negates rational decision making
Titles: Senior Vice President, Financial Advisor
Starting with these three financial rules, I help build portfolios.
That’s simply a tool to help you realize your goals — and the
portfolio should never be the end in itself. Comprehensive
financial planning is my goal, and portfolio management is a
primary instrument to that end.
I am convinced that all successful investing involves constantly
acting toward the realization of goals, and all unsuccessful
investing is based on reacting to whatever the markets happen
to be doing at the moment. This is why my approach is goal
focused and planning driven.

Investment Strategies for
Today's Changing World
• The client always comes first
• Independent, unbiased advice
• Traditional and alternative asset strategies
B.S. in Economics, The Wharton School of Finance, 1980
Chase Manhattan Bank, Credit Analyst Program, 1981
We take the responsibility of managing our clients’ life savings very seriously, and
therefore our sole focus is investment management. We believe that only firms
that are 100-percent devoted to the investment markets will be able to prosper
in today’s increasingly complex global markets. We diversify client portfolios
using traditional asset classes such as stocks and bonds as well as less-correlated
alternative asset classes such as gold, currencies, real estate and commodities.
We believe this is essential, because the foundations of the existing international
monetary system are shifting under the strain of the global sovereign debt crisis.
