Respondents selected the wealth management company they used most frequently, and then rated that provider on a ten-point scale in four criteria: likelihood to recommend to others, overall satisfaction, trustworthiness of the firm's advisors and quality of financial advice. Kiplinger determined the overall winner in each category by identifying the provider with the highest total score of all criteria.
