Honored to receive recognition

All of us at Carrier & Varty are honored to share we have received the Ameriprise Client Experience Award. This recognition is a testament to the loyalty of our clients, the dedication of the entire Carrier & Varty team and the great experience we work so hard to provide for our clients every day.

The Client Experience Award is earned by a practice based on four measurable statistics that reflect the value of goal-based advice to our clients: Client Experience Rating; percentage of clients over a certain asset level in Advice Relationships; percentage of clients over a certain asset level with regular contact and, once the practice has exceeded a minimum amount of Net Flows, the percentage of Net Flows derived from Assets Under Management.
