ST. CHARLES, Ill., Aug. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Mission Wealth, a nationally accredited and award-winning wealth management firm, proudly announces that Bryant Merryman, one of their esteemed Senior Wealth Advisors in Chicago, Illinois, has been named #42 on the Forbes Best-In-State Next-Gen Wealth Advisors list for 2024.

"This recognition reflects the trust my clients place in me and the collaborative effort of the entire Mission Wealth team. I look forward to continuing to provide innovative solutions and dedicated service to our clients."

The Forbes/SHOOK Top Next-Gen Advisors Best-In-State list features 1,621 top professionals who cumulatively manage nearly $2.8 trillion in assets. This group has long careers ahead of them—all were born in 1985 or later, have a minimum of four years of experience as an advisor, and exhibit exceptional professionalism, performance, and dedication to their clients. This accolade is a testament to Bryant's unwavering commitment to delivering personalized financial strategies and superior service to his clients.

"We are incredibly proud of Bryant for this well-deserved recognition," said Brad Stark, Co-founder of Mission Wealth. "Bryant has flourished in leading our mid-west growth initiatives and earning his way to becoming a partner in the firm. He not only does remarkable work for our clients but has been able to balance his success with his most important job, being a great husband and raising an amazing family. Our hats are off to him!"

The average age of a financial advisor continues to climb, currently hovering around 56. According to the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, less than one-third of advisors today are under the age of 40, compared to industries like, say, technology, where nearly half are under 40. The need for fresh talent in financial advice is critical, and Forbes and Shook Research have ferreted out wealth management's up-and-comers.

About Forbes | SHOOK

SHOOK considered advisors born in 1985 or later with a minimum of 4 years as an advisor. Advisors must have built their practices, led their teams, joined teams, and are viewed as future leaders, or a combination of both. The ranking algorithm is based on qualitative measures: telephone and in-person interviews to measure best practices. Also reviewed are client retention, industry experience, credentials, review of compliance records, firm nominations, and quantitative criteria, such as assets under management and revenue generated for their firms. Investment performance is not a criterion because client objectives and risk tolerances vary, and audited performance reports are rare. Data provided by SHOOK^® Research, LLC. Data as of 3/31/24.

SHOOK's research and rankings provide opinions intended to help investors choose the right financial advisor and are not indicative of future performance or representative of any one client's experience.
