What are the common denominators of success?
Catching up on our weekend reading, we noticed that Barron’s 2012 List of Top 1,000 Financial Advisors is out! What a special moment for these practices each year when the list comes out. We always search the list for our clients and take special pride in finding their names once and again among the top investment professionals in their field. Then State by state, we recognize the names of former colleagues, friends and neighbors.* Then other outstanding financial advisors come to mind, who might have earned a place and may win a spot next year. The fact is, this is a very hard list to make. Congratulations to these top 1,000 Financial Advisors who work hard to stay on top and have earned the chance to take a moment to stop and celebrate this Barron’s Top 1,000 recognition:

Over more than 20 years in financial services, it has been our privilege to know and work with many of these top advisors, in firms including Legg Mason, Alex. Brown, and through our own firm, LederMark Communications. We celebrate and recognize that getting to the top and staying on top in this competitive industry requires unrelenting focus. Many are active in their communities; several have written a book or hosted radio shows. They have stepped forward when their firms have enlisted their help in sharing their best practices with their peers. I recognize several as pioneers in converting to the fee-based business model. Above all, they have been extraordinarily driven to serve their clients well and succeed themselves. We recognize their work ethic, because that seems to be the common denominator.
*This recognition does not imply an endorsement of LederMark Communications by these financial advisors.
