Barron's publishes its annual Top 1200 Advisors by State compilation to recognize advisors demonstrating exceptional performance, professionalism, client service and community involvement. Among the factors the "Barron's Top 1,200 Advisors" ranking takes into consideration are quality of practice, assets under management, revenues, and philanthropic work.

"Competition is steep to be selected for this list, and those who make the cut represent a very high level of achievement in serving their clients' wealth management needs," said Ruggie of the ranking which recognizes both an elite group of independent financial professionals and large wirehouses. "I believe we have earned this distinction because we take the time to understand our clients and their needs, and take our fiduciary responsibility to put their needs above our own very seriously."

Ruggie Wealth Management provides services to individual and corporate clients, as well as to a select group of endowments and foundations. As the flagship company of Ruggie Capital Group, Ruggie Wealth offers a broad range of services and products to help clients achieve their financial goals. Ruggie Capital Group is now developing a multi-family office to expand their continuum of services to high-net-worth clients.

The firm has offices in Tavares, Winter Park and The Villages®, FL.

The Barron's rankings are based on data provided by over 4,000 of the nation's most productive advisors. Factors included in the rankings: assets under management, revenue produced for the firm, regulatory record, quality of practice and philanthropic work. Investment performance isn't an explicit component because not all advisors have audited results and because performance figures often are influenced more by clients' risk tolerance than by an advisor's investment-picking abilities.
