Last month, Forbes and SHOOK Research released the 2022 ranking of Best-in-State Wealth Advisors. Our firm was honored to be represented on the list by Wally Obermeyer, Ali Phillips, and Dana Nightingale, CFA, CFP©. In addition to being recognized as the highest-ranked independent advisory in Colorado, we were the only such firm in the state to have three advisors ranked in the top 50 on the list.
We begin this quarter’s commentary by acknowledging the tragedy in Ukraine. The death toll and physical infrastructure losses remain mostly shrouded in the fog of war, but they are devastating. The spirit of the Ukrainian people in the face of such darkness has been inspiring. We are encouraged by the swift and united response to the invasion by world leaders in the form of the most punitive sanctions ever to be placed on one country.
In our latest quarterly investment outlook video, Wally Obermeyer, President and Co-Founder, shares his thoughts on the economic and market trends we are keeping a close eye on heading into the rest of 2022. We are watching the Fed, geopolitical developments, and the economy closely, and adjusting client portfolios to balance short-term risk with long-term opportunity.
Wally Obermeyer and Ali Phillips, representing the entire team at Obermeyer Wood Investment Counsel, have been named to Barron’s 2022 ranking of the Top 1200 Financial Advisors in the country. We are honored to be recognized as the highest-ranked independent advisory in the state. And for the second year in a row, Obermeyer Wood is the only independent firm in Colorado with two advisors on the list.
We are excited to announce that Obermeyer Wood Investment Counsel has been named to the Forbes/SHOOK Research Top Women Wealth Advisors list for the sixth consecutive year.
