Montclair Resident Named Top 100 Financial Adviser Nationwide

Montclair residents' finances are in good hands.

Merrill Lynch announced last Tuesday that Barron's Magazine named John Barrett of Montclair as one of the top 100 financial advisers in the country.

In order to be considered for the nationally-acclaimed list, advisers must be in the business for at least seven years and at their current employer for at least one.

Barron's Magazine ranks advisers based on client assets, return on assets, client satisfaction and retention, compliance records and community involvement among other factors.

“John’s inclusion on Barron’s annual ‘America’s Top 100 Financial Advisors’ list demonstrates his commitment to providing clients a personalized and holistic financial approach to help them pursue personal goals, said managing director of Merrill Lynch Sabina McCarthy. "This recognition is well-deserved, and we are proud to support John with the strength of the firm’s resources as he continues to offer insightful guidance to clients."

Barrett has been with the Merrill Lynch SD complex for 28 years.
