Anne Ward has received the Five Star Wealth Manager award. To receive the Five Star Wealth Manager award, a wealth manager must satisfy 10 objective eligibility and evaluation criteria that are associated with wealth managers who provide quality services to their clients. Factors taken into account include assets under management and client retention rate. Candidates also undergo a thorough regulatory and complaint review. The Five Star Wealth Manager program does not rate or rank advisers but rather identifies wealth managers who satisfy 10 objective eligibility and evaluation criteria.
