Congratulations to Peter Bermont, Advisor Extraordinaire From Team JAB  Team JAB would like to extend a warm congratulations to Board Member and JABBER extraordinaire Peter Bermont. Peter is widely known and admired for his charm and his warm personality, not to mention his humility. So what he won't tell you is that he was just named as one of America's Top 1000 Financial Advisors by Barron's for 2013, ranking Number 19 in the State of Florida. He was also named among the country's top 400 advisors by The Financial Times (April 11, 2013), carefully selected from among more than 250,000 advisors nationwide. JABBERS, this is huge. In case you haven't had the privilege of meeting Peter yet, there's a lot more to him than finance. He serves as Managing Director and Senior Portfolio Manager for the Bermont Advisory Group. Equally important, is Peter's dedication to his community, where he serves on the boards of the United Way, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Miami and as a past president and trustee of Temple Israel. And of course, JustAskBoo's prestigious advisory board. Congratulations, Peter! |
