    Johnson Investment Counsel (“JIC”) is not affiliated with Forbes or SHOOK Research, LLC (“SHOOK”) and has not received compensation from nor provided compensation to Forbes or SHOOK. This ranking should not be interpreted as an endorsement and no ranking or award implies any level of skill or training. The ranking may not be representative of any one client’s experience as it reflects a sample of client experiences. The award is not indicative of future performance and there is no guarantee of future investment success. Forbes’ list was compiled by SHOOK, which uses quantitative and qualitative data, including interviews, to rank member firms. SHOOK performs due diligence as the basis for its rankings. The Forbes ranking of America’s Top RIA Firms, developed by SHOOK Research, is based on an algorithm of qualitative criteria, mostly gained through telephone, virtual and in-person due-diligence interviews, and quantitative data. The algorithm weighs factors like revenue trends, assets under management, compliance records, industry experience and those that encompass best practices and approach to working with clients. Portfolio performance is not a criterion due to varying client objectives and lack of audited data. Neither Forbes nor SHOOK receive a fee in exchange for rankings. SHOOK seeks out nominations from the financial services industry. SHOOK accepts advisors who meet pre-determined minimum thresholds and acceptable compliance records. SHOOK received nearly 46,212 nominations based on thresholds. 25,103 of those nominees were invited to complete an online survey. SHOOK creates rankings of role models – firms that are leading the way in offering best practices and providing a high-quality experience for clients. A focus on both quantitative and qualitative factors, including telephone and in-person meetings, was imperative.
