Keefe Gorman is a wealth management advisor and managing director of investments with Merrill Lynch in Ithaca, New York. Among his other accolades, Keefe Gorman has made multiple annual lists of Barron's Top 100 Advisors.

A leading business publication with a long history of highlighting exceptional industry performance, Barron’s publishes several rankings of individual advisors and advisor teams on a yearly basis. These rankings serve as both a “scorecard” for wealth management professionals and a public resource for people searching for exceptional financial services.

Barron’s Advisor ranks advisors based on a three-pronged assessment method that makes precise calculations about assets under management, revenue produced, and overall practice quality. To fuel these complex and multifaceted calculations, Barron’s asks all candidates to complete a comprehensive, 102-question survey. In addition to collecting statistical facts about wealth generation for all types of assets under management, these surveys touch on qualitative factors that range from advanced degrees and certifications to philanthropy and charity work.
