Riverside Wealth Management Wins Women’s Choice Award® for Financial Advisors

May 20, 2014 - PRLog -- WAKEFIELD, MA, May 20, 2014- As the leading advocate for female consumers, WomenCertified®, Inc. is pleased to announce that Riverside Wealth Management has received the Women’s Choice Award® for Financial Advisors. The Women’s Choice Award is the only recognition program for well-qualified advisors who are committed to the women’s market and serving their female clients.

“We are honored to receive this award.  It recognizes our distinct ability to help women take the worry out of thinking about money and help them take control of their financial life,” comments Karla Rossetti Pippins, Founder and President, Riverside Wealth Management. "Achieving this award reaffirms our commitment to extraordinary service in addressing the financial needs of women and their families."

Women currently control 51% of all wealth in the United States, and, according to the Federal Reserve, this number is projected to reach 66% by 2020. Some 70% of women say they would prefer to work with a woman advisor, yet women occupy just 30% of the positions in the industry. A great majority of the female population are seeking advisors they can trust.

Fortunately, a powerful, national initiative driven by WomenCertified and WIFE.org have created a solution that distinguishes advisors such as Riverside Wealth Management who support female consumers in their quest for financial education.

WomenCertified, originator of the Women’s Choice Award, is the leading advocate for female consumers. In partnership with WIFE.org (Women’s Institute for Financial Education) the Women’s Choice Award for Financial Advisors was created in an effort to help women identify those advisors who are committed to providing quality service. The award allows this elite group of advisors to showcase their commitment to the women’s market, while giving potential clients a starting point for entrusting their finances to an advisor.
