Marguerita In The News

April 14, 2025 — The sharp demand for CFP services has pushed InvestmentNews’ 5-Star Financial Planners to stand out in a dynamic market by exemplifying excellence, integrity, and dedication in helping their clients. They were nominated and then benchmarked against others to determine the country’s best. "While the winners have varying skill sets, a commonality is that the most successful financial planners specialize. They are serving a particular niche and have leveraged it to obtain a competitive edge." Congratulations to Marguerita Cheng, CFP® Pro, CEO of Blue Ocean Global Wealth, who made the list again this year.
