Bloomington Firm Also Named to List of 1,200 Top Advisors Nationally for Sixth Year

Barron’s has ranked JNBA Financial Advisors’ CEO Richard S. Brown as one of the state’s top two financial advisors, making the firm the top Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) in Minnesota. Also, for the sixth year in a row, the independent, 36-year-old firm has been named to Barron’s list of the 1,200 top advisors in the country.

“It’s especially gratifying that Richard and the firm ranked as Minnesota’s top RIA,” says JNBA President Kim Brown. “Our fierce independence and commitment to always acting in our clients’ best interests is at the heart of who we are. We continue to hear from our clients that they really value the fact that we’ve stayed true to that client-centric philosophy for nearly four decades.” Last year, Barron’s ranked JNBA the number-one advisor in the state. JNBA has also twice been named one of the nation’s top 100 independent wealth advisors by Barron’s and The Winner’s Circle.*

Barron’s ranked advisors on a comprehensive set of factors including quality of practice, assets under management, revenue and regulatory record. JNBA has developed a highly customized approach to wealth management and a focus on service that has helped the firm gain national recognition. JNBA’s independent status allows the firm to customize investment strategies to individual client goals, which are implemented by an experienced team and disciplined process, including a review of each portfolio every 10 business days, says Kim Brown.

JNBA’s dedication to client service and providing individualized investment strategy has contributed to its 96% client retention rate since 2001 and has fueled the firm’s continued growth through a challenging economic period. The company expanded to Duluth, Minn., in 2010.
