Cory Summers: Forbes Best in the State Wealth Advisor 2025
Cory Summers, Wealth Advisor at Corpus Christi Financial Group and independent LPL Financial advisor, has once again been named to the Forbes/SHOOK 2025 Best-in-State Wealth Advisors list. This marks the second consecutive year that Summers has received this prestigious recognition, highlighting his continued dedication to delivering outstanding financial guidance and client-focused service. The Forbes/SHOOK list honors top-performing financial advisors across the country who demonstrate excellence in their profession. Advisors are selected based on a combination of qualitative and quantitative factors, including personal interviews, assets under management, compliance records, and years of experience.
The Forbes Best-In-State Wealth Advisor ranking, developed by SHOOK Research, is based on in-person and telephone due diligence meetings and a ranking algorithm that includes: client retention, industry experience, review of compliance records, firm nominations; and quantitative criteria, including: assets under management and revenue generated for their firms. Portfolio performance is not a criterion due to varying client objectives and lack of audited data. Neither Forbes nor SHOOK Research receives a fee in exchange for rankings.
Planning Together For Your Financial Freedom
At Corpus Christi Financial Group our approach is simple. We believe sound financial decisions don't have to be confusing. From seeking to help you prepare for retirement to maximizing your sustainable income options and transitioning your assets from one generation to the next in a tax efficient manner, our advisors can help. Our goal is for you to become more confident in your financial future.
Our Approach
Understanding who you are, what you value and your vision for retirement is the first step we take in helping you reach your goals. As we get to know one another, your advisor can work to develop tailor-made solutions and strategies that fit your needs today and through retirement. Just like doctors, we can’t prescribe until we diagnose, so our process includes:
STEP 1:
Get Acquainted
Putting your financial future in the hands of someone else involves an immense amount of collaboration and understanding. Before we begin talking about your assets, we want you to feel comfortable with our team. During this time, we’ll get to know each other and answer any questions you may have about our firm, beliefs or services.
STEP 2:
Financial Assessment
As we begin discussing the in’s and out’s of your financial picture, we’ll assess your current retirement plan, investment strategy, insurance options and more. During this time, we’ll ask you to complete a risk tolerance questionnaire, which can help our firm better understand your unique needs.
STEP 3:
Provide Recommendations
Based on your goals, we’ll develop a comprehensive financial or retirement plan designed to encompass and integrate every aspect of your financial picture. Together we’ll go over our strategies, recommendations and advice to be sure you feel comfortable moving forward.
STEP 4:
Implementation & Review
When you’re ready, we’ll move forward into an ongoing working relationship. As your financial circumstances evolve, we’ll realign your financial plan to accommodate these changes. We’ll meet regularly, whether virtually, over the phone or in person, to answer any questions and discuss ongoing financial matters.
