BrightScope Updates List of the Top 100 Most Social Financial Advisors
Josh Brown and Barry Ritholtz Hold Top Spots; John Mauldin and Roger Wohlner Join Top Ten
(firmenpresse) - SAN DIEGO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 09/22/15 -- BrightScope (, a leading provider of independent financial information and investment research, today released its updated list of the Top 100 Most Social Financial Advisors in the United States. Introduced in 2014 to recognize the top advisors with significant online influence, BrightScope hopes to encourage all financial professionals to bolster their digital brand. Investors are increasingly using search engines and ratings services to inform key life decisions like selecting financial advisors, so advisors with the highest visibility online stand to win an increasing share of new business.
"It''s encouraging to see so many advisors demonstrating their expertise and connecting with investors online," said Kevin Fahey, Director of Product at BrightScope. "There''s a growing recognition that an effective online presence can attract and retain clients."
The Rank considers several individually weighted data points around the advisor''s Twitter profile and blog, such as followers, Tweet activity, and Moz Page Authority. BrightScope components also make up a small portion of the overall rank. For advisors who have not yet taken advantage of these channels, the rank helps them identify top advisors who are models of how to use social media to grow a successful advisory business and a personal brand in the marketplace.
Noteworthy findings since BrightScope''s last release of this list in March 2015:
Winner''s Circle: Josh Brown (No. 1) continues his reign as the most influential financial advisor on social channels, followed closely by fellow repeat honoree Barry Ritholtz (No. 2)
Top Ten: The list includes two newcomers to the Top Ten, John Mauldin at No. 7 (from No. 15) and Roger Wohlner at No. 10 (from No. 11)
Warm Welcome: Nine advisors made their debut: Carlos Sera, No. 27; Andrew Thrasher, No. 36; Kirk Chisholm, No. 55; Brian Preston, No. 62; Laurie Itkin, No. 65; Brendan Mullooly, No. 87; Eric Roberge, No. 95; Gary Brooks, No. 97; Eric Simonds, No. 100
