Savant Capital Management Named to Forbes Top 50 Advisors List

Rockford, IL (April 14, 2010) – Savant Capital Management has been named as one of the Top 50 RIA Firms by Forbes magazine. Forbes chose the firms by using the following rules and methodology:

1. All firms are registered investment advisors ranked based on discretionary assets under management as defined by the Security and Exchange Commission as of Dec. 31, 2009.
2. Greater than 50% of their business must serve the retail marketplace.
3. Advisors must provide financial planning services or portfolio management for individuals or conduct due diligence on third-party advisors.
4. They must not be doing business as a broker/dealer, bank or insurance company.
5. They can neither charge commissions nor have registered representative employees at the firm.
6. A majority of the RIA's business must not be invested in proprietary products.

Savant was listed at number 45 on the list, and was one of only 3 firms from Illinois named. Savant was also recognized by Forbes on the Top 50 Firms list in 2008.

“Savant is honored to again be recognized again by Forbes magazine,” said Brent Brodeski, Managing Partner. “Our dedication to providing our clients with unbiased financial planning and investment advice has successfully placed us among a well-respected group of fee-only firms in the industry.”
