NEW YORK, April 13, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Barron's today announced it will host its first annual Top Independent Advisors Summit as the latest extension of its successful "Winner's Circle" conference franchise. The event will be an elite gathering of the nation's pre-eminent independent advisors who were honored last year in a Barron's special report, as well as a select group of nearly 300 additional advisors. The invitation-only summit will be held at the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix, Ariz. on May 6-8.
"This conference will bring together the top independent advisors across the U.S. at a time when the number of independent practitioners is growing rapidly," said Edwin Finn, president of Barron's. "Barron's conferences have become the premier forum to convene the best advisors in the business. This new conference broadens that effort to include this sizeable and important group -- the independent advisors."
This unique summit, hosted by Mr. Finn, will offer attendees the opportunity to meet and network with the leaders and opinion-shapers of the independent advisory profession. It is designed to facilitate a free-flowing exchange of information, ideas and insights through peer-based communications and an unwavering focus on best practices and winning wealth-management strategies.
