Finding a wealth manager who suits your needs can be a daunting task. In fact, many consumers have a hard time figuring out where to even begin.
Sometimes, a few simple questions can set one off on the right path. Asking a wealth manager what makes working with him or her a unique experience can help you
understand how they work and if their style meshes with your own. Further, asking a financial advisor to talk about any specialties they might have can help uncover skills you might find useful.
Ultimately, how do you find an experienced wealth manager who you feel comfortable working with? One who has high retention rates? One who has undergone a thorough complaint and regulatory review? One who has tenure in the industry?
Texas Monthly and Five Star Professional partnered to find wealth managers who satisfy 10 objective eligibility and evaluation criteria. Among many distinguishing attributes, the average one-year client retention rate for this year’s award winners is more than 96 percent. Although this list is a useful tool for anyone looking for help in managing their financial world or implementing aspects of their financial strategies, it should not be considered exhaustive. Undoubtedly, there are many excellent wealth managers who, for one reason or another, are not on this year’s list.
In order to consider a broad population of high-quality wealth managers, award candidates are identified by one of three sources: firm nomination, peer nomination or pre-qualification based on industry standing. Self-nominations are not accepted. Houston award candidates were identified using internal and external research data.

THREE-YEAR WINNER
Why Do People Come to Linscomb & Williams?
Many reasons, but they boil down to this. People need to confi rm where they are now, fi nancially. They may have an idea where they are trying to reach, but may need help defi ning it more precisely. What they need most is help with the “how” — “How are we going to get there?” They want to get that help from a team of people who can listen and understand them but are not motivated to sell them something.
What Is Something People May Not Know About You?
While in college, I worked on an elk ranch — building fences, laying sprinkler pipe and tagging elk. That convinced me I did not want to be a rancher, but it was a unique experience in a diff erent line of work.
Can Families Really Grow Wealth Today as They Did in the Past?
Clearly, many things are diff erent today than in the past — super low interest rates being one. Yes, wealth can be grown sensibly. Many of our clients have successfully accumulated wealth, and their biggest concern becomes not being blind-sided by the unexpected. Naturally, they expect our team to grow their wealth, but just as important, they expect us to draw on our 40-plus years of experience to preserve and enhance their after-tax wealth position.
What Is Something People May Not Know About You?
I met my wife, Vanessa, when I was 14 years old. Between dating and marriage, we’ve now been together for 20 years!

Left to right: Catherine Rocque, Registered Assoc.; 2015 winner Monica Woodward, First Vice President, Financial Advisor, CIMA®, CPWA®; Shala Walker, Financial Advisor, CFP®; Lynn Hernandez, Registered Assoc.
Most of my clients are primarily women and couples who see their money as a tool to live an extraordinary life, not a measurement of social status. They prefer to spend their time living fully engaged with family, friends and pursuing activities that resonate with their values. They want an advisor who they can confi de in to understand their unique perspective and family dynamics. My clients aspire not only maintain their standard of living, but also to share their wealth intelligently with their family and create a framework for purposeful spending, investing and giving to make a diff erence in their lives and causes they care about most, which is something I want all my clients to experience and achieve.
