NEW YORK, May 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Wilmington Trust today announced that Sharon L. Klein, President, Family Wealth, Eastern U.S. Region, has been named as one of the top 200 advisors in the country on the Forbes Top Women Wealth Advisors list. This annual list recognizes the top 1,000 women advisors in the United States. Less than one-in-five of these top women advisors oversee $1 billion or more in client assets, and Klein is featured as one of them.

The ranking is a merit-based designation developed by SHOOK Research for advisors with at least seven years of experience. It is based on both qualitative and quantitative data from nominations and in-person interviews. The data is evaluated by an algorithm and considers factors such as revenue trends, assets under management, client experience and industry experience. Forbes received 32,000 nominations this year.

This follows Klein's earlier recognition to the Forbes Best-In-State Wealth Advisors2020list, an annual designation that recognizes the top advisors in the United States. Klein is featured on the list of the top high net worth wealth advisors in New York City.

Klein is responsible for coordinating the delivery of all Wealth Management services, leading teams of professionals across the areas of planning, trust, investment management, family office, and private banking, to high-net-worth clients in the Eastern United States.
