UBS Financial Services Inc. announced today that Edward W. "Ted" Smith, Managing Director - Wealth Management and Jonathan Murray, Managing Director - Wealth Management, have been named to the 2020 Barron’s Top 1,200 Advisors list. Ted is part of UBS’s Baltimore office while Jonathan is part of UBS’s Hunt Valley office. 

Barron’s annual Top 1,200 ranking recognizes outstanding advisors from all 50 states, plus the District of Columbia. It is the publication’s largest, most comprehensive listing, and it encompasses everyone from independents, who own and operate their own practices, to employees of the big Wall Street firms. The rankings are based on data provided by around 4,000 of the nation's most productive advisors. Factors included in the rankings: assets under management, revenue produced for the firm, regulatory record, quality of practice and philanthropic work. Ted ranked 4th and Jonathan ranked 18th in the state of Maryland, respectively.

“I am pleased that Ted and Jonathan have received this prominent recognition,” said Ellen Pierce, Mid-Atlantic Market Head at UBS Financial Services Inc. “They work diligently every day to help our clients reach their financial goals. To be recognized as a top wealth advisor on Barron’s is an achievement that should not be taken lightly. It is an honor that recognizes their exceptional dedication to their clients, career accomplishments and expertise in not only meeting but exceeding expectations.”
