Allworth Financial Named “Best in Class” by National Business Research Institute

The 28-year old RIA ranked in the 90th percentile of all surveyed brands

SACRAMENTO, Calif., June 8, 2021 – Based on the results of an anonymous, third-party survey of clients, Allworth Financial, the 4th fastest growing RIA in America[1], has once again been awarded the National Business Research Institute’s (NBRI) “Best in Class” designation.

The 19-question survey covered seven topics related to communication, service, ethics, financial planning, and overall client satisfaction. Allworth’s aggregate scores placed the firm in the 90th percentile, ranking it well above the financial industry average score of 50.   

Allworth Financial’s “Best in Class” score qualifies the firm to join NBRI’s “Circle of Excellence” for 2021, the third straight such designation for the Sacramento-based RIA.     

“What makes me the proudest, is that even in the midst of tremendous growth, our standard of care and our client-first approach to advising have remained uncompromised,” said Co-Founder and Co-CEO Scott Hanson.  

“We have a great deal of confidence in the associates who come to work each and every day at Allworth,” said Co-Founder and Co-CEO Pat McClain. “This award is a testament to those associates who work so hard to fulfill our mission to always place the people we proudly serve, first.”
