David W. Ellis III, UBS Private Wealth Advisor and Managing Director of The Ellis Group , has been named to Forbes’ Top Wealth Advisors List for the fifth year in a row. The prestigious list recognizes the top 250 wealth advisors in the United States.

For the Top Wealth Advisors list, SHOOK Research selected the advisors from more than 30,000 nominations using both quantitative and qualitative criteria. This rigorous evaluation included in-person and telephone interviews, as well as reviewing industry experience, compliance records, revenue produced and assets under management.

“I am grateful to be named by Forbes as a leading financial advisor, but I would not have received this recognition without the diligent, focused and committed efforts of my entire team,” said David. “Our Team cares about what matters most to our clients including helping them achieve financial success across generations. We appreciate Forbes’ recognition of our hard work.”

Earlier this year, David also received Top Financial Advisor honors from Barron’s. The Barron’s ranking draws on data provided by more than 4,000 of the country’s most productive financial advisors. He has been on the Barron’s list since its inception in 2004.

With more than 30 years' experience in the financial services industry, David and his team provide asset management and wealth management services for high net worth individuals and families. The Ellis Group strives to be an advocate for clients by utilizing a collaborative, process-driven investment management and financial planning approach. The team currently oversees more than $2 billion in client assets.
