Chip Munn Achieves Sixth Year on Forbes Best-In-State Wealth Advisors List with Signature Wealth Group

Chip Munn Recognized as a Best-In-State Wealth Advisor for 2026

In a testament to his exceptional leadership, Chip Munn, the CEO of Signature Wealth Group and a Senior Wealth Advisor, has achieved a remarkable milestone by being included in Forbes' Best-In-State Wealth Advisors list for the sixth consecutive year. Achieving the sixth spot in South Carolina for 2026, Munn's recognition is a significant accolade that underscores his commitment to delivering top-notch financial advisory services.

This honor is derived from an extensive assessment conducted annually by SHOOK Research, which scrutinizes advisors based on various vital metrics such as assets under management, revenue growth, compliance, and client service excellence. Although this accolade bears Munn's name, it reflects the efforts of his robust team of 60 wealth planning professionals who diligently serve over 3,560 families across 15 communities.

Munn expressed, "This recognition belongs to every member of our team. What we've built here is the result of a shared commitment to doing right by our clients in every community we serve." His remarks highlight the firm's philosophy that effective wealth planning transcends mere financial management; it involves fostering a deeper understanding of living well today while ensuring future financial security.

Throughout the past decade, Signature Wealth Group has emerged as one of the Southeast's most comprehensive independent wealth management practices, having developed a reputation for its holistic approach to wealth planning. Their unique model prioritizes long-term relationships with clients, addressing various aspects such as lifestyle planning, retirement strategies, and legacy considerations. Their team-centric advisory model fosters collaboration among advisors, ensuring that clients receive well-rounded insights aligned with their financial goals.

In the past year, the firm has broadened its offerings by launching a specialized Private Wealth service tailored for high-net-worth clients with assets exceeding $5 million. This exclusive program focuses on whole-life planning, encompassing critical components such as family dynamics, business interests, estate management, and legacy planning, all integrated into a cohesive investment strategy.

Furthermore, 2025 marked the promotion of Bary Dedge to President, alongside Signature Wealth being recognized as one of South Carolina's 50 Fastest Growing Companies later in the fall. These significant milestones symbolize the firm’s deliberate growth strategy and the depth of leadership effectively managing its expanding clientele.

Munn’s philosophy of creating robust financial frameworks is embedded in Signature Wealth's operational ethos. He emphasizes the importance of well-supported advisors to yield positive outcomes for clients while reinforcing the firm’s commitment to strengthening the communities they serve. The achievement of being recognized by Forbes for six consecutive years speaks volumes about their successful strategy in translating these values into real results for their clients.
