Next week, we’ll unveil our annual Top 50 Bank Advisors online and in print. In the meantime, we’re proud to continue our Next 50. These advisors ranked 51 through 100 in our analysis.
Here we are highlighting numbers 51 through 75. Yesterday, we had 76 through 100.
Our ranking is designed to recognize the most successful bank and credit union advisors based on several key areas, such as assets under management; trailing 12-month production; percentage growth in AUM from the previous year; percentage growth in production; amount of fee-based business; and the ratio of production to AUM.
