Christopher Hall, Senior Financial Advisor with Raymond James and Founding Partner & CEO of Hall Financial Advisors, located at 1101 Rosemar Rd, Parkersburg, WV, was among the Raymond James-affiliated advisors named to Barron’s list of Top 1,200 Advisors. The list, which recognizes top advisors across the country, was released online March 10, 2023.

This is the twelfth time in the last thirteen years Hall has been recognized in the state of West Virginia on the ‘State by State’ list, Barron’s largest, most comprehensive ranking that evaluates not only independent advisors but advisors from Wall Street firms as well. This will be his second time earning the top position.

Chris attributes much of his success to the team he has created at Hall Financial Advisors. He’s invested his ideals into his highly trained and experienced staff inspiring them to think like owners while making customer service their number one priority.

On receiving this prestigious honor, Hall said,

“It’s truly and honor to be part of such a distinguished group of professionals. Over the years the caliber of advisors in the state of West Virginia has continued to get stronger, so to be ranked #1 in the state is a true testament to the exceptional service and advice we bring to our clients. Recognition like this really highlights the importance of maintaining that high standard for client relationships…. None of this would be possible without the strength and dedication of the team I have working alongside me here at Hall Financial Advisors.”

Forbes 2023

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. This ranking is based upon the period from 4/1/2021 to 3/31/2022 and was released on 01/12/2023. Advisor teams that are considered must have one advisor with a minimum of seven years of experience, have been in existence as a team for at least one year, have at least 5 team members, and have been nominated by their firm. The algorithm weights 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. Out of approximately 8,000 team nominations, 2,860 advisor teams received the award based on thresholds. This ranking is not indicative of an advisor's future performance, is not an endorsement, and may not be representative of individual clients' experience. Neither Raymond James nor any of its Financial Advisors or RIA firms pay a fee in exchange for this award/rating. Raymond James is not affiliated with Forbes or Shook Research, LLC.
