MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--JNBA Financial Advisors’ CEO Richard S. Brown has been honored by Barron’s on its list of the Top 100 Independent Wealth Advisors of 2019. Brown is the only Minnesota financial advisor on the list, and ranked 46th, up from 47th last year.
This is the fifth consecutive year Brown has been named to the list. The Barron’s ranking reflects the volume of assets overseen by the advisors and their teams, revenues generated for the firms, and the quality of the advisors’ practices.
“As we celebrate our 40th year, we’re honored to have Richard and the firm recognized by one of the leading organizations in the wealth management field,” says Kim Brown, president of JNBA Financial Advisors. “During this milestone anniversary year, we’re more committed than ever to our advice driven by advocacy™ approach. This recognition by Barron’s reinforces that our values are resonating with clients and the industry.”
JNBA’s fiercely independent status allows the firm to customize investment strategies to individual client goals, which are implemented by an experienced team and disciplined process, including a review of each portfolio every 10 business days. JNBA’s dedication to being an advocate for its clients, employees, and community has fueled the firm’s continued growth, including opening an office in Duluth, Minn., and its expansion of family office services, a contemporary model that provides fiduciary oversight and services — from strategy to implementation — for busy, high-net-worth families who are looking to simplify their financial lives, whether they’re C-level executives, business owners, high-profile professional athletes, or other types of families with significant wealth. JNBA has posted a more-than-97-percent client-retention rate since tracking began 2001, and its business is continuing to grow and thrive with nearly $1 billion in assets under management today. The firm is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2019.
JNBA was also recently named to the Financial Times Top 300 Registered Investment Adviser for the fifth year, and the Forbes 2019 Top Wealth Advisors List ranked Brown 151st out of the top 250 advisors in the country. Also, earlier in 2019, for the 10th consecutive year, the independent firm was named to Barron’s list of the 1,200 top advisors in the country.*
