Irvine, CA -- (Wobwire.com) - Pamela M. Adams,
CFP® , First Vice President – Investment
Officer, Wells Fargo Advisors, Irvine, CA
attended the fourth-annual Barron’s
Winner’s Circle Top Women Advisors Summit,
hosted by Barron’s magazine to promote best
practices in the industry and the value of
advice to the investing public. The invitation-only
conference was held at The Breakers in Palm
Beach, Fla. Dec 2-4, 2009.
In addition to Pam, 81 of the Top 100 Women Financial Advisors in the U.
S., as ranked and published in Barron’s June 8, 2009 issue, were also in
attendance. This annual ranking is the basis for the Top Women Advisor’s
Summit and the advisors are chosen based on the volume of assets
overseen by the advisors and their teams, revenue generated for the firms
and the quality of the advisors’ practices. The top 100 are comprised of
advisors from major security firms and independent operations.
“It was an honor to be a part of this event and to meet other professionals
who share the same integrity and passion for this industry,” said Pamela
Adams. “Discussing best practices one-on-one with the top financial advisors
across the country was a unique experience. It will be beneficial to bring
these insights back to my firm and my clients.”
The exclusive conference is designed to promote best practices and
generate new ideas across the industry. Attendees conducted workshops
led by the Top 100 Women Financial Advisors that explored current issues
from business development ideas, managing high-net-worth accounts and
families to portfolio management and retirement planning. Danny Ludeman,
president and CEO of Wells Fargo Advisors, was a keynote speaker at the
event.
“This Summit continues to be recognized by the financial advisor community
year after year as the leading industry event, bringing together key leaders
and top decision makers from around the country,” said Edwin Finn, editor
and president of Barron’s. “With our economy in a state of crisis, this year is
especially crucial as ideas and discussions generated from this event
provide attendees with sound investment and financial advice for businesses
and individuals in this difficult environment.”
In attendance were more than 400 women financial advisors who were
selected by their firms to attend and participate in the conference. For more

Pamela M. Adams was selected to attend the conference based on her
production.
The criteria for the Top 100 Women Financial Advisors in the US was
based on quantitative and qualitative criteria as well as by examining
regulatory records and talking with peers, supervisors, clients and the
advisors themselves. Portfolio performance is not a criterion because most
advisors do not have audited track records.
