We’re happy to share that for the 16th consecutive year, Barron’s has named our CEO and Chairman Richard S. Brown to its list of the 1,200 top financial advisors in the United States. Richard was once again recognized as one of the top two advisors in Minnesota on the state list.
“Each year that Barron’s has included Richard on this prestigious list, we talk a lot about how this recognition is a team effort,” says JNBA President Kim Brown. “And this year is no exception. Our multigenerational team significantly contributes to and shares in this honor, as we work together to focus on one thing: what’s best for our clients. We’re extremely proud and grateful of Richard for his leadership, and every JNBA team member for their commitment to putting into action the values that have driven our firm and the decisions we make for more than 45 years.”
According to Barron’s, the rankings are based on assets under management, revenue produced for the firm, regulatory record, quality of practice, and philanthropic work. The rankings can be found in the March 10 issue of Barron’s Magazine and on Barrons.com.
JNBA’s dedication to being an advocate for its clients, employees, and community has fueled our continued growth, including opening offices in Duluth, Minn., and Bonita Springs, Fla. With over $1.6 billion in assets under management today, our fiduciary firm has posted a more-than-97-percent client retention rate since tracking began in 2001.
