PARKERSBURG — Christopher Hall, senior financial adviser with Raymond James and founding partner and CEO of Hall Financial Advisors, at 1101 Rosemar Road, Parkersburg, was among the Raymond James-affiliated advisers named to the Forbes list of Best-in-State Wealth Management Teams announced Jan. 12.
Also recognized as members of the Hall Financial Advisors team, Partners of Hall Financial Advisors and Raymond James Senior Financial Advisors were Brett Bronski, Robert Blasczyk and Jeremiah Kuhn.
Hall began his career in the financial services sector more than two decades ago as an independent adviser.
He established a business that would become Hall Financial Advisors. Since the start in 1999, clients have evolved and a team has emerged. Hall has received a number of professional accolades over the years, but attributes the practice’s more recent accomplishments to the team he’s assembled.
“While every business is unique, there are some things that I would attribute to our success that we specifically decided to focus on. The first is putting the team above all. And when we put the team first that translates into terrific client experiences,” Hall said. “What we strive for is to make sure the client has an absolutely flawless experience with our team and that we all carry the same passion and vision for what we think that client experience should be like. The team award is extremely competitive. So, for us to be near the top of that list, on such a prestigious list provided by Forbes, makes me very, very proud of our entire team.”
The 2023 Forbes ranking of America’s Top Wealth Management Teams Best-In-State, developed by SHOOK Research, is based on an algorithm of qualitative criteria, mostly gained through telephone and in-person due diligence interviews, and quantitative data. The ranking is based upon the period from April 1, 2021, to March 31, 2022. Adviser teams that are considered must have one adviser with a minimum of seven years of experience, have been in existence as a team for at least one year, have at least five team members and have been nominated by their firm.
The algorithm weighs factors like revenue trends, assets under management, compliance records, industry experience and those that encompass best practices in their practices and approach to working with clients. Portfolio performance is not a criteria due to varying client objectives and lack of audited data.
“The significance of receiving this acknowledgment is just knowing that we can provide quality service that’s recognized nationally at a local level with a solid team and people that we really care about and clients that have been loyal to us over the last 20 years,” Blasczyk said.
Blasczyk joined Hall Financial Advisors in 2011, was named partner in 2018 and has more than 13 years of experience in the financial services industry.
Hall Financial Advisors joined Raymond James in February 2021. Services offered include financial and retirement planning, equity investments, estate and education planning for individuals and businesses.
