Patrick Hanratty and Neil Waxman Named in Worth Magazine: The Top 100 Wealth Advisors

(PRWEB) November 13, 2007 -- Shaker Heights based firm, Capital Advisors, Ltd. announces Patrick T. Hanratty, CPA/PFS, CFP® and Neil R. Waxman, CFP® are included in Worth Magazine's: The Nation's Top 100 Wealth Advisors, as published in the October 2007 edition. Hanratty and Waxman are the only two Cleveland area financial advisors to make the list, and are two of only four listed in the state of Ohio. This was the fifth consecutive time Waxman has been named, and Hanratty's second time in as many years.

Hanratty and Waxman are Managing Directors of Capital Advisors, Ltd., a well recognized and highly regarded wealth management firm in Cleveland, Ohio. Capital Advisors provides wealth management services, establishing and integrating investment, tax, estate, retirement, and business succession planning in the affluent market, primarily in Ohio, Florida, and California. Waxman and Hanratty claim their success is due in large part to delivering well developed, objective, and independent financial solutions.

Worth Magazine's The Top 100 Wealth Advisors issue is the culmination of a year of extensive research by Worth's editorial staff. The editors reviewed hundreds of nominations by readers, as well those provided by executives at private banks, wealth management and investment firms, and industry associations.

In choosing "America's Premier Financial Strategists for Global Investing," Worth Magazine reviewed nominated advisors' responses to an extensive questionnaire in which they listed their educational credentials, compensation structure, client retention rate, outlook on the investment climate and model portfolio returns. Those selected for the list devised and executed the most innovative yet appropriate solutions to their clients' financial problems. According to Worth Editor Douglas McWhirter, honorees "explained their insights clearly, concisely, and with conviction -- exactly how they should communicate with their clients."

Hanratty serves as the director of Career Development for the North Eastern Ohio Financial Planning Association (FPA) Board and two financial planning related boards for the University of Akron.

Waxman distinguishes himself as an independent Board Member of several corporations, as a Board Member of several not-for-profit organizations, and through substantial service to other civic and professional organizations.

Hanratty and Waxman adamantly maintain that this is a firm-wide award, resulting from the efforts of every firm member, due in large part to teamwork, our guiding principles, and over 100 years of cumulative experience.
