RiverFront's Chief Investment Strategist, Rod Smyth, and Director of Institutional Sales, Bart Farinholt, were present to receive the award. "We are very excited and humbled to receive this award," said Rod.  "We are also very aware that we could not have made it to $5 billion in AUM (assets under management) in 7 years without the support of our partner firms and advisors.
