Since 2008, Bob has been recognized by Cincinnati Magazine as a Five-Star Wealth Manager. This award is given to the top 7% of all advisors in the Greater Cincinnati Area and is based solely on third-party client evaluations. (Survey recipients were asked to select only wealth managers whom they knew through personal experience, and to evaluate them based upon nine criteria: customer service, integrity, knowledge/expertise, communication, value for fee charged, meeting of financial objectives, post-sale-service, quality of recommendations and overall satisfaction. No fee is paid to be included in the research or on the final list. The overall evaluation score reflects an average of all respondents and may not be representative of any one client's evaluation. The award is not indicative of the wealth manager's future performance.)
