CINCINNATI,  Sept. 3, 2015  /PRNewswire/ -- Valerie L. Newell, CPA, chairman and managing director of RiverPoint Capital Management has been ranked #29 on Barron's 2015 list of the Top 100 Independent Wealth Advisors in the United States. The Barron's rankings reflect the quality of the advisors' practices, the amount of assets overseen by the advisors and their teams, and revenue.

Cincinnati-based RiverPoint Capital Management provides financial advisory services with a focus on helping clients achieve their long-term investment objectives. This is the firm's first time on the Barron's list. Newell is one of only two independent advisors selected from the Cincinnati area for this highly sought-after honor.

"I am thrilled for our firm to be included on this prestigious list," said Newell. "At RiverPoint, we strive to provide exceptional, personalized financial advice to every client who walks through our doors. The ultimate measure of our success is client satisfaction, and I am pleased that our client retention rate has been 98% for more than 10 years. I believe the Barron's ranking reconfirms the fact that we continue to provide leading investment management and financial advice to help our clients achieve their goals."
