Advisor Perspectives also wins top spot among Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs)
NEW YORK, November 16, 2023 – Advisor Perspectives, the premier digital publisher for the financial advisory profession and a recent addition to the fast-growing VettaFi lineup of research and educational offerings, today announced that it has been ranked as the most-read electronic newsletter among financial advisors for the fifth year in a row by Erdos Media Research’s Financial Advisor Media Outlook and Usage Study (FAMOUS).
Since 2013, FAMOUS has supplied deep insights into how advisors view fund families and use media, as well as providing a multifaceted profile of financial advisors that goes beyond basic demographic information including variables such as AUM, work setting, and the role of the advisor in the client relationship. FAMOUS was based on responses from 163,719 financial advisors.
This is Advisor Perspectives' fifth consecutive year of ranking ahead of The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg and Barron’s among the e-newsletters listed, with 48% more readership than the average of the top 10 newsletters. Advisor Perspectives also claimed the number one spot for e-newsletters among the independent registered investment advisor (RIA) segment.
“Investors entrust their advisors with their life savings, and those advisors demand relevant, accurate content to guide their decision making,” said Robert Huebscher, who founded Advisor Perspectives in 2007, and is now a vice chairman at VettaFi. “I am honored to once again see the critical role the VettaFi team plays in that process.”
In addition to its website and newsletters, VettaFi’s Advisor Perspectives also produces a podcast, Gaining Perspective, hosted by Robert Huebscher, which has also proven to be popular with advisors and consistently ranks among the top 10 most-listened-to podcasts among those specifically produced for the financial advisor audience. Electronic newsletters and podcasts were added to the FAMOUS study five years ago and have become a critical segment of the media landscape.
“Many studies look at financial advisors, their performance and other metrics. But FAMOUS is the only comprehensive study that evaluates the media consumption and knowledge of fund families in addition to building a profile of FAs,” said David March, chief executive officer at Erdos Media Research. “FAMOUS evaluates which media brands and platforms are most effective in reaching various types of FAs. For RIA, IBD and wirehouse firm, across variables such as AUM, investment strategy or familiarity of a particular fund family, FAMOUS supports targeting efforts for maximum ROI for marketing expenditures.”
“We’re thrilled to see VettaFi’s Advisor Perspectives once again recognized as a leading online resource for advisors looking to educate themselves and their clients,” added Leland Clemons, CEO of VettaFi. “There is a lot of content available for advisors, but a focus on quality is what sets Advisor Perspectives apart.”
