New York, April 27 - Forbes/SHOOK recently released the 2020 "Top Women Wealth Advisors" ranking, with 157 UBS colleagues among the list of 1,000 FAs across the US.

The Forbes/SHOOK ranking rates thousands of wealth Advisors with a minimum of seven years of experience and weighs factors such as revenue trends, assets under management, compliance records and industry experience.

The 1,000 women on the 2020 list manage nearly $920 billion in client assets, and nearly one-in-five manage at least $1 billion. Our very own Louise Gunderson ranks eighth on the list, with many of our other Advisors ranking in the top 30.

Teri Conklin, a UBS Advisor in Northbrook, Illinois, spoke to Forbes about her own experience in the industry. “I was working in an environment with many men and there weren't a lot of me. I was a competitive swimmer and I realized that I was in a team sport, but as an individual, I set my own personal goals. I just applied the same principles.”

To see which of our other Advisors were honored, check out this year’s list below, and locate their websites to learn more about their businesses.

METHODOLOGY:

Forbes/SHOOK’s “Top Women Wealth Advisors” list is comprised of 1,000 women advisors. The list was developed by SHOOK Research and is based on in-person and telephone due diligence meetings to measure factors such as: quality of practice, industry experience, compliance record, assets under management and revenue. Neither UBS Financial Services Inc. or its employees pay a fee in exchange for these ratings. Past performance is not an indication of future results. Investment performance is not a criterion because client objectives and risk tolerances vary, and advisors rarely have audited performance reports. Rankings are based on the opinions of SHOOK Research, LLC and not indicative of future performance or representative of any one client’s experience.
