The Winner’s Circle ranking may not be representative of any one client's experience because the rating reflects a quantitative and qualitative analysis of factors that may include only a sample of the experience of Sand Hill’s clients. The rating is not indicative of future performance. Sand Hill Advisors did not pay a fee to participate in the Barron’s rankings. The rankings are based on qualitative criteria: professionals with a minimum of seven years financial services experience, acceptable compliance records, client retention reports and customer satisfaction reports. Advisors are quantitatively ranked based on varying types of revenues and assets advised by the financial professional, with weightings associated for each. Additional qualitative measures may include: in-depth interviews and discussions with senior management, peers and customers. Because individual client portfolio performance varies and is typically unaudited, this ranking focuses on customer satisfaction and quality of advice.
