Canfield financial adviser earns honor

Merrill Lynch financial adviser Sidney G. Jones from the Canfield office has been recognized as one of the top advisers in Ohio by Barron’s magazine on the “America’s Top 1,000 Advisors: State-by-State” list, which was published in the Feb. 21 edition.

Financial advisers considered for Barron’s ranking have a minimum of seven years’ financial services experience and have been employed at their current firm for at least one year. Measures used to determine the rankings include: client balances, return on assets, client satisfaction/retention, compliance records and community contribution.

Barron’s does not receive compensation from financial advisoes, participating firms and its affiliates, or the media in exchange for rankings.

“Sid’s recognition is a significant achievement for Merrill Lynch as well as the greater Youngstown area, especially in this difficult economic climate. Sid and his group provide comprehensive financial services, serving a wide range of clients locally, nationally and internationally, all from a smaller Northeastern Ohio market,” said Don Raynor, Canfield resident director.
