Burton Enright Welch Named Top 300 Registered Investment Adviser by the Financial Times

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - June 27, 2017 - PRLog -- Burton Enright Welch (BEW), a San Francisco Bay Area-based financial planning firm, has been named a Top 300 Registered Investment Adviser by the Financial Times. The list includes top independent RIA firms from across the U.S.

"We are proud to be honored by such an esteemed publication," said Jeremy Welch, BEW's managing partner. "Our inclusion speaks to the value of building a firm that prioritizes financial planning with clients."

The Financial Times (FT), a London-based daily newspaper, produced the FT 300 list independently in collaboration with Ignites Research, a subsidy of the FT that provides business intelligence on the investment management industry. On June 22, the FT hosted a banquet in New York City honoring FT 300 firms.

FT and Ignites used the following six criteria to select RIAs: assets under management (AUM), AUM growth rate, years in existence, compliance record, industry certifications, and online accessibility.

"We are grateful to the Times for the recognition," said Bob Enright who along with Peter Burton founded BEW in 1989. "Our firm's entire focus is our clients and helping them reach their goals."

"This is a testament to our wonderful clients and the fantastic team we have here working on their behalf," said Burton. "Bob and I couldn't be prouder of where we stand nearly three decades after we started."
