Patricia C. Brennan, CFP®, CFS, President

A graduate of Georgetown University and a Certified Financial Planner, Patti Brennan is different.  Not only does she provide comprehensive wealth management, she creates integrated strategies that are unique for each client.  She takes this one step further with a process that updates all financial plans each night with changes in the total portfolio.  This way cash flow, income tax calculations and retirement projections stay current and “live” instead of obsolete with market fluctuations.  

Patti Brennan is not just a number cruncher.  She strives to see the impact of the “little details” on the big picture, and communicate complex financial concepts in simple, understandable and meaningful terms:
                 

  “Money is a means to an end, and truly listening to our clients is an important part of this process.  Creating integrated strategies is important, but monitoring them is even more so.”

* "Candidates for The Philadelphia Business Journal and Barron’s™ Magazine were determined by The Winners™ Circle. Candidates were valued on criteria such as assets under management, revenues, experience, and record of regulatory compliance and complaints. Candidates were further vetted based on in-depth interviews and discussions with management, peers and customers, as well as professional achievements and community involvement. The Winners™ Circle does not receive compensation from participating firms or their affiliates, financial advisers or the media in exchange for rankings. In addition to the criteria used for the Barron’s™ Article and Philadelphia Business Journal, Wealth Manager Magazine takes into consideration service to industry organizations and mentoring to others. Assets under management were used to determine rankings for Fortune. Third-party rankings from rating services or publications are no guarantee of future investment success."

* Third-party rankings and recognitions are no guarantee of future investment success and do not ensure that a client or prospective client will experience a higher level of performance or results. These ratings should not be construed as an endorsement of the advisor of any client nor are they representative of any one client’s evaluation.

* The rankings are based on qualitative criteria: professionals with a minimum of seven years financial service experience, acceptable compliance records, client retention reports and customer satisfaction reports. Advisors are quantitatively ranked based on varying types of revenues and asset advised by the financial professional, with weightings associated for each. Additional qualitative measures include: in depth interviews and discussions with senior management, peers and customers. Because individual client portfolio performance varies and it typically unedited, this ranking focused on customer satisfaction and quality of advise. Please see www.WCorg.com for more information.

* The “Barron’s Winner’s Circle Top 1000” is a select group of individuals who are screened on a number of different criteria. Among the factors that advisors are assessed include their assets under management, revenues, the quality of service provided to clients, and their adherence to high standards of industry regulatory compliance. Portfolio performance is not a factor. Please see www.wcorg.com for more information.
