Jane LaLonde included on Minnesota’s Best-In-State Wealth Advisors list by Forbes/SHOOK
MINNEAPOLIS – April 3, 2024 – Jane LaLonde, CFP®, senior partner at North Star Resource Group, was announced today as a Forbes Best-In-State Wealth Advisor. In February, LaLonde was also named a 2024 Forbes Best-In-State Women Wealth Advisor for a third consecutive year.
Out of over 44,000 nominations received, LaLonde was selected for the Forbes/SHOOK Best-In-State Wealth Advisors national list, ranking in the top 100 wealth advisors in Minnesota, with $275 million in team assets.
“I feel grateful and honored to be recognized among this list of incredible advisors,” said LaLonde. “Mostly though, I am just grateful to have a career centered on getting to know and helping people become more calm, confident and empowered about their finances.”
Each advisor on the list is chosen based on an algorithm of qualitative criteria learned through telephone and virtual or in-person interviews along with quantitative data, such as revenue trends and assets under management. It also weighs factors such as service models, compliance records and industry experience.
“Since the beginning of her career, Jane has blazed a trail for financial planning, and is a true visionary for recognizing that holistic planning was the right path for the client to truly reach their goals,” said Ed Deutschlander, CLU, CLF, CEO of North Star Resource Group. “Today, she is one of our top-producing advisors at North Star, running her individual practice as well as leading and mentoring the next generation of planners.”
LaLonde is the co-author of Real-Life Financial Planning with Case Studies for Women, and in 2020, AARP Minnesota and Pollen recognized her as a 50 Over 50 honoree.
