WEST CHESTER, Pa., Feb. 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Key Financial President and CEO, Patti Brennan, has just been named by Forbes as #1 Best-In-State Women Wealth Advisors for 2022. This is a move up the list from last year’s #2 spot. Forbes also ranked the nation’s Top 100 Female Advisors and Brennan is ranked #13 in America. Forbes has partnered with Shook Research in reviewing more than 34,000 nominations nationally to determine this list of the nation’s top financial minds. Nominees are judged based on an algorithm of both qualitative and quantitative data. Advisors must have a minimum of seven years’ experience to qualify and are also weighed on additional considerations such as revenue trends, compliance records and assets under management. Data are weighted to ensure priorities are given to dynamics such as preferred “best practices”, business models, and recent business activity.
Recognized as a thought leader in the industry, Brennan is consistently ranked by Forbes, Barron’s and the Financial Times as one of the nation’s top advisors. “This honor goes to every member of my team who has worked diligently on behalf of our clients during a very tumultuous year. Between working from home at the beginning of the pandemic to coming back into the office while children were still being taught virtually – this dedicated team all faced challenges personally, yet the excellent service they provided to clients never waivered. Our bench at Key Financial is steeped with some of the brightest minds in the industry, and they will be taken care of, like family, for the rest of their lives.”
