Forbes Ranks Schwartz Among Nation's Top Women Financial Advisors

For Second Straight Year, Fern Schwartz of Merrill Lynch Makes the List of the 250 Highest Performing Female Advisors in the United States

Marking her 36th year in the financial services industry, Fern G. Schwartz, CRPC®, was named by Forbes Magazine as one of the country's Top Women Wealth Advisors for 2018.

Schwartz - the senior vice president and founding director of The Schwartz Group of Pittsburgh, a Merrill Lynch office - earned the Forbes recognition due to her practice's total assets under management, client retention and satisfaction, compliance and industry experience. She also made the same list when Forbes debuted it in 2017.

Being so honored is nothing new to Schwartz. Forbes picked her as one of Pennsylvania's top financial advisors for 2018. The Rochester, N.Y., native has received a bevy of honors for her philanthropic work promoting women and diversity.
