Date: 4/17/2015

LUDLOW – Edward Sokolowski, managing partner of PV Financial Group, has been recognized for achieving Commonwealth Leaders status for 2015. This distinction recognizes successful financial advisors based on a ranking of annual production among Commonwealth’s network of approximately 1,600 financial advisors.

Commonwealth is the nation’s largest privately held independent broker/dealer–RIA and the broker/dealer of choice for Edward Sokolowski. In honor of this distinction, Sokolowski was invited to join his peers at the Commonwealth Leaders Conference, March 1 to 6.

The conference offered attendees a variety of educational sessions geared toward providing consistent, first-class client service, numerous networking opportunities, and the opportunity to consider innovative business practices.

While in Costa Rica, Ed also took time to give back to those in need. Partnering with the Los Lagos School, located in Liberia, Commonwealth volunteers helped paint and refurbish classrooms to create a comfortable learning environment for local children.

“It was humbling to see how appreciative the children were to have us simply help paint their school walls. It instantly reminded me of how blessed I am,” Sokolowski said.

“It was our distinct pleasure to host Ed at our 2015 Leaders Conference,” Wayne Bloom, CEO of Commonwealth, said. “Attending this event is just one of the many ways in which Ed displays a long-term commitment to educating himself on the best tools and strategies to meet the demands of investors. We commend Ed for his dedication to providing exceptional service to his valued clients.”
