John Adama Vaccaro, founder and CEO of Westport Resources, an independent investment firm, has been selected one of 2012’s “Top 1,000 Financial Advisors” and the 12th top Connecticut advisor by the weekly financial newspaper Barron’s, company officials announced.
It was Vaccaro’s third year in a row making the 1,000 pick determined by data from more than 4,000 of the nation’s most productive advisors and on a state-by-state basis, according to Westport Resources.
The Barron’s rankings are based on assets managed, revenue produced and quality of practice, the latter including an evaluation of each advisor’s regulatory record.
Vaccaro, a Weston resident since 1983, founded Westport Resources in 1986. In Westport, he and his wife Cindy have been major supporters of the Westport Country Playhouse and its transformation from a summer to a yearround theater.
