RIVER FALLS — Forbes Magazine named Credent Wealth Management one of America's Top RIA Firms of 2023. Of the 23,100 registered investment advisors invited to participate in the survey, Credent is in the top 0.6%.

A prestigious and competitive industry award curated by Shook Research, the Top RIA Firm ranking focuses on quality and includes a thorough application and interview process. Mike Pepin, Wealth Manager and partner in Credent’s River Falls office, recognizes what this honor means to him.
