DoubleLine has provided compensation to one or more award publications to permit DoubleLine to publish certain of the award results as well as the name and logo of the award publications and, in some cases, related to the award publication, to announce the award results (e.g., in an industry advertisement).  Although any such compensation was provided after the award results were determined, the potential for such compensation may influence an award publication’s process for making award decisions.  In addition, certain award publications may have affiliated companies or other lines of business that conduct business with DoubleLine, such as trading software or research publications, and the existence of these relationships could create a conflict of interest with respect to the award publication’s process for determining award recipients. Award publications assess particular performance periods using their own methodologies, criteria and judgment; persons and products recognized by award publication change from year to year.  Investors are cautioned that a recognition from an award publication based on past results does not guarantee any future performance results.

2021, 2022 Financial Advisor IQ, Service Award Winner – Audio and Video Content. Financial Advisor IQ Service Awards are based on the online votes of 903 financial advisors, across brokerage, RIA and other channels, surveyed in April through June, 2021.

Now in their 3rd year, the FA-IQ Service Awards are based on the votes of financial advisors who participated in an an online survey in April, May and June.

In all, 742 advisors voted in 2022. Respondents represented multiple channels: 61% came from broker-dealers (including 40% from independent and regional BDs, and 19% from wirehouses), 32% from independent RIAs, and 4% from insurance agencies.

In rating asset managers, advisors identified the companies with which they have worked from a list. Then, for each category, they chose which among the companies they work with they considered outstanding.

We split asset managers up based on the total mutual fund and/or ETF assets each managed (to reflect the "retail" business), even when the company has a much larger institutional business. Advisors could choose from:
● 32 “large” managers (those with $100 billion or more in mutual fund/ ETF assets)
● 51 “midsize” managers (those with $20 billion to $99 billion in mutual fund/ETF assets)
● 60 “small” managers (those with $5 billion to $19 billion in fund/ETF assets)

For recordkeepers, Erisa law firms and TDF providers, we relied on votes from all advisors, but especially those with significant DC plan business.

Ignites Research, an FA-IQ affiliate, compiled the votes and oversaw these awards.
