Bridgewater Merrill Lynch Financial Advisor Recognized Again as Top Advisor

Merrill Lynch Financial Advisor Elliott Kugel of Montgomery, NJ was recently recognized on the Financial Times Top 400 Advisors (FT 400) in March 2014. Kugel works in the Bridgewater, NJ office.

The FT 400 list is highly competitive and identifies top advisors through credible and objective methodology.  The Financial Times works directly with brokerage firms to solicit the needed information to about the advisors’ practice information and data.  After receiving the information, the Financial Times grade advisors using six broad factors and calculate a score for each advisor.  The factors include: assets under management, assets under management growth rate, years of experience, compliance record, industry certifications and online accessibility.

The FT 400 is an elite group, not ranked from one to 400 since each advisor uses different approaches and strategies in their everyday practice.
