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.
Orange Coast magazine 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 oneyear 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 2 percent of the wealth
managers in the Orange County area.(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. Orange County award
candidates were identified using internal and external research data, including a survey to
more than 9,400 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 and Orange Coast magazine.
• 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) 1,760 award candidates in the Orange County area were considered for the Five Star Wealth
Manager award. 255 (approximately 14 percent of the award candidates) were named 2012 Five

(4)
As defined by Five Star Professional, the wealth manager has not:

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 27,000 households in the Orange County area 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.

firm has advised thousands of clients, and the net worth of
their clients currently represented totals more than $7 billion.
Jillyn has appeared numerous times on TV and radio as a legal
expert and is a noted speaker on the subjects of advanced

members, private and public foundations, and charitable

go wrong with trusts and estates and know how to prevent
those problems.
