Financial adviser among top 100
Kathy Stepp has been named to the inaugural list of the 2014 Financial Times Top 100 Women Financial Advisers. Stepp, a principal and co-founder of Overland Park-based Stepp & Rothwell Inc., was the only woman in Kansas and the Kansas City area to be honored by the newspaper.
To qualify, the Financial Times said advisers had to manage at least $200 million in assets and have 10 years’ experience. Candidates were then scored on six attributes, including compliance record, experience, and industry certifications.
