In a Financial Times Special Report published on November 19, 2014, Circle Wealth Management Partner Maria Chrin was recognized as one of the top 100 women best in business for financial advisers.

The Financial Times 100 list recognizes the top women financial advisers across the US. The FT 100 was developed in collaboration with Ignites Research, a subsidiary of the FT that provides specialized content on asset management.

The top advisers hail from 25 states and Washington, D.C.The average adviser has 24 years experience and manages $1.8 billion worth of assets. This elite group embodies some of the leading trends in the investment management industry: 40 per cent work in the fast-growing independent Registered Investment Adviser sector; 19 per cent are based in New York City, the nation’s top wealth center; and 56 per cent offer holistic financial planning services.

“It’s clear that women, who make up 51 per cent of the US population, are under-represented in the ranks of financial advisers. That is why we decided it was time to celebrate their achievements,” said Loren Fox, Director of Research for Ignites Research and head of the FT 100 project. “This inaugural edition of the FT 100 highlights the tremendous success of many women financial advisers in the US, achieved through a variety of business models.”
