Financial Advisors 2021 "Its an honor to be named by Forbes and Barron's as one of the top advisors in the country.

Paolucci, CFP Founder & CEO Principle Wealth Partners LLC is an SEC registered investment advisor. Advisory services are only offered to clients or prospective clients where Principle Wealth Partners and its representatives are properly licensed or exempt from licensure. The 2021 ranking of the Forbes' Best-in-State Wealth Advisors1 list was developed by SHOOK Research and is based on in-person and telephone due-diligence meetings to evaluate each advisor qualitatively and on a ranking algorithm that includes client retention, industry experience, review of compliance records, firm nominations, and quantitative criteria (including assets under management and revenue generated for their firms). Overall, approximately 32,725 advisors were considered, and 5,000 (approxi- mately 15.3 percent of candidates) were recognized. The full methodology2 that Forbes developed in partnership with SHOOK Research is available at www.forbes.com. "This recognition and the due-diligence process conducted are not indicative of the advisor's future performance. Your experience may vary. Winners are organized and ranked by state. Some states may have more advisors than others. You are encouraged to conduct your own research to determine if the advisor is right for you. Portfolio performance is not a criterion due to varying client objectives and lack of audited data. SHOOK does not receive a fee in exchange for rankings.

Barron's "Top 1,200 Financial Advisors" bases its ratings on qualitative criteria: professionals with a minimum of seven years of financial services experience, acceptable compliance records, formal succession plans, high client retention, and more. Financial Advisors are quanti- tatively rated based on varying types of revenues and assets advised by the financial professional, with weightings associated for each. Because individual client portfolio performance varies and is typically unaudited, this rating focuses on customer satisfaction and quality of advice. The rating may not be representative of any one client's experience because it reflects a sample of all of the experiences of the Financial Advisor's clients. The rating is not indicative of the Financial Advisor's past or future per- formance. Neither Principle Wealth Partners nor its Financial Advisors pay a fee to Barron's in exchange for the rating, however Principle Wealth Partners does pay to use the award ribbon for marketing materials.
