Timothy Hyland Selected as a 2012 FIVE STAR Wealth Manager by New Jersey Monthly Magazine

Annandale, NJ (January, 2012) – Timothy M. Hyland, CFP®, CPA and President of Stone Hill Financial LLC, was selected as a 2012 FIVE STAR Wealth Manager?by New Jersey Monthly magazine for the second consecutive year.  Less than 1 percent of wealth managers in the New Jersey area were named to the list.

New Jersey Monthly formed a partnership with Crescendo Business Services to find out which wealth managers scored the highest in overall satisfaction.  Crescendo administered a survey, by mail and phone, to approximately 1 in 4 high-net-worth households (over 235,000 households) and all identified FINRA registered representatives within the New Jersey area.

The list contains the wealth managers in a given market who score highest in overall satisfaction, based on an objective market research methodology that takes into account client evaluations based on 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.  The 2012 FIVE STAR Wealth Managers do not pay a fee to be included in the research or the final list of FIVE STAR Wealth Managers.

 

The overall evaluation score of a wealth manager reflects an average of all respondents and may not be representative of any one client's experience.  The award is not indicative of the wealth manager's future performance or that the advisor will receive this award in the future.  For more information on the FIVE STAR Award and the research/selection methodology, go to http://www.fivestarprofessional.com/WMSummaryandResearch.pdf
