Chip Munn Named to Forbes Best-In-State Wealth Advisors for Fifth Straight Year, Another Win for the Team

FLORENCE, S.C., April 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- For the fifth year running, Chip Munn, CEO of Signature Wealth Group and Senior Wealth Advisor, RJFS, has been named to the 2025 Forbes Top Wealth Advisors Best-In-State list. But if you ask him, this isn't his win—it's the whole team's.

In the world of wealth management, it's easy to assume that industry awards belong to the person whose name appears in bold. At Signature Wealth, the mindset is different. While Munn's name tops the Forbes list, the award is the culmination of a group effort—one built on collaboration, innovation, and an obsession with helping clients live well, not just retire well.

"This award reflects what we've built together—and nothing I've done alone," said Munn. 

Founded in Florence, South Carolina, Signature Wealth has grown into a powerhouse in the Southeast with more than $2.5 billion in assets under management, serving over 3,500 households in 15 local communities (as of 8/01/2024). The Group's rise wasn't by chance; it was by design. A strategy rooted in building systems that scale, empowering team members, and prioritizing relationships over transactions.

"Success here isn't about chasing a benchmark. It's about creating meaningful outcomes for our clients and for each other," said Scott Mitchell, CIO of Signature Wealth Group and Raymond James Chairman's Council member.

Unlike many industry giants who operate from the top down, Signature runs with what it calls a "COOL" culture—Collaborative, Open-Minded, Others-Focused, and Loyal. That means every win is shared, and every client solution is a team product, not a solo act.

And if the past five years are any indicator, Signature Wealth's teams aren't slowing down. With a model designed to attract entrepreneurial advisors and serve multigenerational clients with complex needs, the Group is on a mission to redefine what it means to build wealth—and a life—on your own terms.

About Forbes Top Wealth Advisors Best-In-State
The Forbes Top Wealth Advisors Best-in-State 2025 ranking, 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 6/30/2023 to 6/30/2024 and was released on 4/8/2025. Those advisors that are considered have a minimum of seven years of experience, and 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. Out of approximately 48,944 nominations, roughly 9,722 advisors received the award. This ranking is not indicative of an advisor's future performance, is not an endorsement, and may not be representative of individual clients' experience.
