When you put your trust in us, you’ve chosen the firm named by Barron’s* – awarded each September (2018-2024) by Barron’s, based on data within a 12-month period – as the nation’s top independent Registered Investment Advisor for the seventh consecutive year. *The Barron’s 2024 Top 100 RIA Firms list, a nine-year annual ranking of independent advisory firms, is based on qualitative and quantitative factors. Firms elect to participate but do not pay to be included in the ranking. The 2024 ranking refers to Edelman Financial Engines as the top mega RIA. The 2018 ranking refers to Edelman Financial Services, LLC, which combined its entire advisory business with Financial Engines Advisors L.L.C. (FEA) in Nov. 2018 and where FEA received a precombination ranking of 12th. Becoming an Edelman Financial Engines client is a straightforward process. The first step is to schedule an initial consultation with a financial advisor in your area. After this meeting, if you and your advisor mutually agree that it makes sense for you to become an EFE client, the advisor will start the process with you. This involves scheduling a second meeting to review your financial goals and how to plan for them and authorizing Edelman Financial Engines to manage your portfolio. Your advisor will be with you every step of the way as you embark on your new journey. Connect with a planner to get started. Your wealth planning team is led by your advisor, who will get to know you – your specific goals, your concerns and what you want to accomplish. Together, you’ll clarify what wealth means to you and explore how much further you’d like your wealth to take you. Your advisor has access to a team of experts in everything from investments and tax planning strategies to estate planning and insurance guidance who can build a personalized plan that takes into account your entire financial life and helps you reach your goals.
