Barron’s is an American weekly newspaper published by Dow Jones & Company founded in 1921.  It covers U.S. financial information, market developments, and relevant statistics.  Each issue provides a wrap-up of the previous week’s market activity, news reports, and an informative outlook on the week to come

Barron’s publishes four financial advisor rankings each year: The Top 100, The Top 100 Women, The Top 100 Independents and The Top 1,000, in which advisors are ranked on a state-by-state basis. The rankings are based on data provided by individual advisors and their firms. Advisor data is confirmed via regulatory databases, cross-checks with securities firms and conversations with individual advisors.

Congratulations to Cory Van Duyn of Edward Jones in Dell Rapids as being selected as one of the top five in the state of South Dakota.  (http://online.barrons.com/report/top-financial-advisors/1000/southdakota).
