The annual ranking recognizes leading wealth advisors under age 40 who have distinguished themselves through their experience, client relationships, business practices and approach to wealth management.
The selection process is extensive. For the 2026 rankings, SHOOK received approximately 53,000 nominations, conducted more than 36,000 interviews, and considered 5,418 advisors for the Next-Gen ranking. Its methodology incorporates both quantitative and qualitative factors, including industry experience, client retention, best practices, credentials, compliance records, assets under management, service models, team dynamics and the impact advisors have on their clients.
For us, this recognition is especially meaningful because many of the qualities SHOOK evaluates reflect what we work to deliver every day at Third View: thoughtful advice, a high level of service, strong relationships and a commitment to continually improving the client experience.
The important work we do at Third View starts and ends with our clients. Their trust and partnership allow our team to do what we love every day, and we are grateful to share this recognition with them.
Congratulations to Frank and Jerry on their third consecutive recognition.
