SEC registration does not constitute an endorsement of the firm by the Commission nor does it indicate that the adviser has attained a particular level of skill or ability. The firm is not engaged in the practice of law or accounting. Tom Gau has been featured as one of the top 100 independent financial advisors in Barron’s in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2013. The Barron's rankings are based on data provided by over 4,000 of the nation's most productive advisors. Barron’s uses a deeply researched, quantitative and qualitative approach to identify the top 100 independent financial advisors, which represents 2.5%. Factors included in the rankings are a minimum of 7 years in the business, client retention, assets under management, revenue produced for the firm, regulatory record, quality of practice and philanthropic work. Investment performance isn't an explicit component because not all advisors have audited results and because performance figures often are influenced more by client’s risk tolerance than by an advisor's investment-picking abilities. Third-party rankings and recognition from rating services or publications are no guarantee of future investment success. Working with a highly-rated adviser does not ensure that a client or prospective client will experience a higher level of performance. These ratings should not be construed as an endorsement of the adviser by any client nor are they representative of any one client’s evaluation. Generally, ratings, rankings and recognition are based on information prepared and submitted by the adviser. Barron’s does not receive any compensation from this advisor in exchange for ratings. For more information on these ratings, please contact the financial advisor or www.barrons.com.
