NEW YORK, Dec. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Worth magazine, a leading financial publication for high-net-worth individuals, today announced the "Worth Leading Wealth Advisor Program," an exclusive marketing program for top wealth and legal advisors operating in the nation's largest metropolitan areas. The program will roll out in the spring of 2009 and is designed to showcase the expertise of the country's leading advisors to high-net-worth individuals.
"With the recent news of the Bernard Madoff multi-billion dollar fraud affecting some of the world's wealthiest and most savvy investors, it has become painfully clear that every investor must be prepared to do thorough due diligence when selecting an advisor and cannot simply rely on promises of huge returns and word-of-mouth recommendations. This is precisely the rationale behind Worth's new program and why our admissions process for those advisors selected to participate will be extremely rigorous," said
Patrick D.C. Williams, publisher of Worth. "In partnering with
Jack Waymire and the Paladin Registry.com, we have added an extra layer of scrutiny to our process."
Advisors who apply for admission into for the program will be vetted by the Worth leading wealth advisor team in conjunction with the Paladin Registry.com to help ensure advisor quality. In order to be considered for the Worth Leading Wealth Advisors Program, financial professionals must be willing to provide complete and full disclosure to investors so that independent Paladin analysts can thoroughly screen and evaluate their credentials, ethics and business practices.
