NEW YORK, Oct. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Investopedia (www.investopedia.com) announced the winners of its fourth annual Investopedia 100 List of the Most Influential Financial Advisors. With more than 100,000 independent financial advisors in the U.S., the Investopedia 100 spotlights the country's most engaged, influential, and educational advisors.
Investopedia's methodology focuses on awarding financial advisors who have demonstrated a top-of-the-industry ability to reach the largest and most diverse financial and investing audience. That reach is measured by the impact and quality of the advisor's published work, public appearances, online following, and commitment to financial literacy across diverse communities. Peer-to-peer nominations are also used to determine the advisor's influence and reach.
"2020 has proven the value of great financial advisors who have been able to help their clients navigate the volatility and uncertainty brought on by the global pandemic," said Investopedia Editor-in-Chief, Caleb Silver.
