Edward Jones Financial Advisor Ryan Kent, of Fort Dodge, has been named to the 2024 Advisors to Watch ranking by AdvisorHub, a wealth management industry publication. He was included in the Solo category.

“I am proud to be named to this national ranking of financial advisors,” Kent said. “While the criteria focused on tangibles around scale, growth and professionalism, I believe the most important thing is the relationships I build with my clients. That’s the basis for my ability to provide tailored advice and guidance that help my clients achieve what is most important to them.”

From the thousands of applicants, only 700 are chosen for the national rankings. To determine the list of financial advisors and their rankings, AdvisorHub explored the size of the business and its profitability; year-over-year growth in assets, households and production; and regulatory record, community involvement and overall team makeup.

The award is delivered in six categories: Over $1B, Under $1B. Next Gen, Women, Solo Advisors and Fast Growing.

Kent is supported in his work by his client support team, which includes Angela Barton, senior branch office administrator; and Ezra Goodman, branch office administrator.
