*The Forbes ranking of Best-In-State Wealth Advisors, developed by SHOOK Research, was awarded to Charles Guilbault in April 2024 for the period of 1/1/2023 – 12/31/2023 and in April 2023 for the period of 1/1/2022 – 12/31/2021. The Forbes ranking of Best-in-State Next-Gen Wealth Advisors was awarded in June 24, 2019 for the period of 7/24/2019 – 06/31/2020. Being a Forbes Best-In-State Wealth Advisor or Forbes Best-In-State Next-Gen Wealth Advisor does not mean Charles Guilbault is ranked the top advisor in the state. The ranking includes many advisors in the state that have been awarded the “best-in-state” distinction.

The ranking is based on an algorithm of qualitative criteria, mostly gained through telephone and in-person due diligence interviews, and quantitative data. Those advisors that are considered have a minimum of seven years of experience for Best-In-State Wealth Advisors and a minimum of four years of experience for Best-In-State Next- Gen Wealth Advisors. The algorithm weighs factors like revenue trends, assets under management, compliance records, industry experience and those that encompass best practices in their practices and approach to working with clients. Portfolio performance is not a criteria due to varying client objectives and lack of audited data. Rankings are based on the opinions of SHOOK Research, LLC and are not indicative of future performance or representative of any one client’s experience; the firm’s research and rankings provide opinions for how to choose the right financial advisor. Investors must carefully choose the right advisor for their own situation and perform their own due diligence. Ratings should not be considered an endorsement of the adviser by any client.

Neither Forbes nor SHOOK are a client of Guilbault Capital, nor do they receive a fee in exchange for rankings. Once placed on a ranking, advisors may choose to pay fees to Forbes and Shook for premium listing features on Forbes directory of top advisors, use of the ranking logo or reprint of the ranking.
