Flower Mound, Texas – October 01, 2026 -- GDS Wealth Management has been named to D Magazine's Top Wealth Managers list for the fourth consecutive year, with the recognition appearing in the publication's October 2026 issue.

Peer nominations, not payments, decide the list

The honor is determined through peer nomination among CFP® professionals in the Dallas-Fort Worth chapter of the Financial Planning Association, based on nominations submitted between May 5 and June 5, 2026. GDS paid nothing to be considered or included, beyond a logo licensing fee, and the firm says compensation does not influence the selection.

Founder credits clients and fiduciary standard

"To be recognized by our peers year after year is something we never take for granted," said Glen Smith, Founder and CIO of GDS Wealth Management. He added that the honor reflects the trust clients have placed in the firm's team.

Firm points to client growth as validation

Robert Casey, Senior Vice President and Co-Founder, said GDS welcomed more families this year than in any previous year, calling the growth evidence that the firm's transparency and fiduciary approach are earning client trust.
