AUSTIN, Texas, April 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Northwestern Mutual is celebrating two Texas-based financial advisors earning rankings on the 2023 Forbes' Top Wealth Advisors "Best-In-State" list.

Forbes receives more than 30,000 advisor applicants annually, and only a small percentage are named among the best wealth advisors in their state. Forbes Best-In-State Wealth Advisors are nominated by their firms and undergo a series of comprehensive interviews, questionnaires and vetting by SHOOK Research. SHOOK considers a variety of qualitative and quantitative metrics when evaluating nominees, including industry experience, compliance records, revenue produced and assets under management.

The following advisors who ranked on the 2023 Forbes' Top Wealth Advisors "Best-In-State" List are:

• Chris Collins, Addison
• Steven Miura, Austin

These Northwestern Mutual advisors – and thousands more nationwide – not only deliver outstanding service to their clients, but were also the driving force for the company's outstanding 2022 business results. In February, Northwestern Mutual announced a record number of total clients (more than five million), full-time financial professionals (nearly 8,000), revenue ($35 billion), surplus ($37 billion) and permanent life insurance sales. Additionally, in 2022 Northwestern Mutual Investment Services was ranked the sixth largest independent broker-dealer by total revenue by InvestmentNews and the seventh largest by Financial Advisor.
