NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Citi’s team of Financial Advisors earned recognition on Bank Investment Consultant’s annual Top 100 Bank Advisers list, garnering 25 positions in the 2016 ranking, the most of any bank.

Citi Personal Wealth Management Financial Advisor Peter Shieh of Rowland Heights, CA, was named the No. 1 wealth manager, while Andrew Vahab and Robert Fallone, both located in New York, were also named to the top 10. The number of Citi Financial Advisors on the list more than doubled, rising from 10 in 2015.

“By attracting talented Financial Advisors, we strengthen our new Citigold offering and our ability to serve our clients with distinction,” said Venu Krishnamurthy, Head of Citigold and Citi Priority Client Segments, and Citi Personal Wealth Management. “At the same time, we create an environment for continued success by providing our Financial Advisors with robust institutional capabilities ranging from research to capital markets platforms, and with opportunities to grow professionally.”

Bank Investment Consultant, a leading online publication for bank wealth managers, based its ranking on a composite score that incorporates such measures as assets under management and percentage growth in AUM.
