PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Stephen G. Sykes, managing director and senior vice president of wealth management with Raymond James & Associates, was among the Raymond James-affiliated advisers named to the Forbes list of Best-In-State Wealth Advisors.

The Forbes ranking of Best-In-State Wealth Advisors, developed by SHOOK Research, is based on an algorithm of qualitative criteria, mostly gained through telephone and in-person due diligence interviews, and quantitative data. Neither Forbes nor SHOOK receives a fee in exchange for rankings. This ranking is not indicative of adviser's future performance, is not an endorsement, and may not be representative of individual clients’ experience. Neither Raymond James nor any of its financial advisers or RIA firms pay a fee in exchange for this award/rating.
