Blue Chip Partners Wins Best Practices Award from InvestmentNews

FARMINGTON HILLS, MI (January 18, 2023) – Blue Chip Partners (“Blue Chip”), an award-winning, independent, fee-only Registered Investment Advisor and comprehensive wealth management firm located just outside of Detroit, was recently named a winner of InvestmentNews’ 2022 Best Practices Award. This award recognizes advisory firms at the top of their peer group in terms of financial performance, demonstrating high growth, productivity, and profitability. Award winners were determined based on results from the annual InvestmentNews Adviser Benchmarking Study, which looks to the top-performing financial advisory firms in the nation for lessons on how to build a best-in-class practice.

“We are so excited to be recognized as one of InvestmentNews’ Best Practices,” said Robert Steinberg, Founder and CEO of Blue Chip Partners. “We couldn’t have earned this without all of our amazing team members who work hard to serve our clients and make Blue Chip an award-winning firm.”

Across categories – from solo practices consisting of one advisor, through small ensembles with less than $5 million in annual revenue, to super ensembles with more than $10 million – the top quartile firms in performance this year outpaced their peers in growth, even while generating 29% more revenue, 59% higher profit margins, and 65% higher adviser productivity. The 2022 Best Practices list consists of 11 firms – two solo practices and three firms in each ensemble category – that were the highest achievers in these metrics. Blue Chip Partners was one of the three winners in the midsize ensembles category.
