Smrekar a 2010 FIVE STAR Wealth Manager
Allegheny Advisors Smrekar & Hurst Repeat as Top Wealth Managers
Pittsburgh Magazine survey of affluent area residents rated satisfaction with advisors
An extensive survey of Pittsburgh-area residents with high net worth has identified Karl G. Smrekar, CFP®, and R. Steven Hurst, CFP®, as well as seventeen other advisors from Allegheny Financial Group and Allegheny Investments, among the region’s top wealth managers in 2010 on the basis of clients’ satisfaction. Smrekar and Hurst were both named to the list in 2009, as well.
The independent survey, sponsored by Pittsburgh Magazine, ranked financial planners, accountants, attorneys, tax advisors, investment advisors, life-insurance agents, and other professional financial advisors on performance in relation to nine criteria—customer service, integrity, knowledge & expertise, communications, value for fee, meeting of objectives, post-sale service, quality of recommendations and overall satisfaction.
The top performers identified from the survey were named to the magazine’s list of Five-Star Wealth Managers by a panel of independent industry judges.
“The team of Karl and Steven is widely recognized as first-rate in financial guidance; they do it all and do it extremely well,” said Allegheny Senior Vice President David Jeter, CFP®.
In all, the Five-Star designation was awarded to fewer than five percent of all financial advisors in the region. A description of the survey and its methodology appeared in the July 2010 issue of Pittsburgh Magazine.
