Multiple metrics: best in each category
Here we show the program managers who topped the list in each of those individual categories. We calculated our own estimates of production-per-advisor based on other numbers provided during the nomination process. We also added one metric for this slideshow that we didn't use in the overall ranking (tenure in the wealth management industry.) These managers are presented here in random order, but the numbers after their names show where they ranked in the overall Top 25 list.
