Generational Wealth Advisors (GWA), has been named a D Magazine Top Wealth Manager for the 13th year in a row. In addition, GWA’s Stephen Hart, CFP®, CEPA, Director of Planning and Investments, was selected as a 2023 Best Financial Planner.

D Magazine’s award is presented annually to leading wealth management firms in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The finalists are selected based on several criteria, including whether planners maintain a strict fiduciary duty to their clients in wealth management and investment advisory services.

Mr. Hart was one of 90 financial planners chosen out of a group of 301 individuals nominated. Certified Financial Planners in the Dallas-Fort Worth area were asked to vote online for the Best Financial Planner award and name peers both inside and outside their firms. A total of 938 votes were cast. A panel of esteemed local wealth managers reviewed a list of finalists before making their final selection.

As part of Generational Group—one of the leading middle market investment banking firms in North America—the GWA team has special expertise in working with business owners interested in exiting their companies. GWA helps assure business owners are ready with a strategic wealth plan to support their financial goals. Pre-exit planning includes creating a comprehensive financial plan, as well as reviewing for tax efficiency and tax-reduction vehicles that enable clients to maximize their after-tax proceeds. As a part of this process, GWA designs and implements investment portfolios for clients to preserve and grow their wealth.

“I am proud of our team for being honored in the 2023 D Magazine awards,” said Brent Everett, Founder and CIO, Generational Wealth Advisors. “The recognition is both a testament to the commitment to our clients and the team’s expertise in working with business owners. Consistent performance is the key to building trust, and trust is essential in our profession.”

We asked every wealth management firm and team in the Dallas-Fort Worth chapter of the Financial Planning Association, Chartered Financial Analyst Institute, and the Investments and Wealth Institute to tell us about their practices. The final list was selected based on these criteria: top firms or teams must have total assets under management for individual clients of at least $100 million; average assets under management per client of at least $1 million; a 95 percent client-retention rate over the last two years; and no current disciplinary actions. Additionally, all firms (or teams, should the team apply as an entity separate from its parent company) must have been in existence for at least five years as of the application deadline (June 5, 2023). They must also hold themselves out as fiduciaries for their clients and provide them with a written disclosure. A panel of esteemed local wealth managers reviewed the final list. All numbers are current as of the application deadline. Out of the 63 that applied, 42 firms and teams were selected.

D Magazine asked every CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ in the Dallas-Fort Worth chapter of the Financial Planning Association to cast an online ballot. They were asked to name peers, both inside and outside their firms, whom they considered to be the most skilled and experienced financial planners in the industry. Outside-firm votes counted more than inside-firm votes. Self-nominations were tossed out. A panel of esteemed local financial planners reviewed the list. Only CFPs made the list.
