Private capital and pre-IPO investments are not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities regulator. These investments are generally considered to be long-term, illiquid investments which sometimes carry minimum holding periods and a market for sale or liquidation may not be readily available. Liquidation prior to the end of an investment term generally yields less than originally invested. These investments are subject to special suitability requirements and screening. This process may result in you not being selected as an investor.

The Forbes Top RIA Firms 2024 rankings (as of 03/31/2024, published October, 2024), provided by SHOOK®Research, LLC. are based on in-person, virtual and telephone due diligence meetings and a ranking algorithm that includes: a measure of each firm’s best practices, client retention, industry experience, review of compliance records, firm nominations; and quantitative criteria, including: assets under management and revenue generated for their firms. Investment performance is not a criterion because client objectives and risk tolerances vary, and advisors rarely have audited performance reports.  Forbes nor SHOOK Research receive compensation in exchange for placement on the ranking.
