Fragasso Financial Advisors recognized as one of America's Top 1000 Advisors  

Fragasso Financial Advisors was recently named one of the Top 1000 Financial Advisors in America by Barron’s magazine, a leading financial magazine.  Fragasso was also recognized as the #6 advisor in Pennsylvania. The firm is associated with LPL Financial, the nation’s largest independent broker-dealer*.

Only a select group of financial advisors were recipients of this prestigious recognition, which highlights the most prominent men and women in the financial services industry. According to Barron’s, the ranking was based on data provided by over 4,000 financial advisors across the United States and the evaluation panel considered advisors’ assets under management, revenues produced, regulatory record, quality of their practice and involvement in charitable and philanthropic endeavors.

The number of advisors selected varies from state to state. For example, Alaska had a total of five, while California had 100 selected. In Pennsylvania there were 40 firms recognized and as indicated above, Fragasso Financial Advisors was rated #33.

"We congratulate Fragasso Financial Advisors for being recognized as one of the best and brightest minds in our industry,” said Bill Dwyer, President of National Sales and Marketing for LPL Financial.   “This accomplishment reflects Fragasso's commitment to being a trusted leader in their community and to helping clients achieve their financial goals.  We are proud to serve as an enabling partner to Fragasso Financial Advisors, and to support the firm's success.”
