GDS Wealth Management Named Top Wealth Manager for Fourth Straight Year

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.

Bundling Home and Auto Insurance: Is It Worth It for Texas Families?

Combining policies can lower monthly costs

Insurers frequently offer discounts when home and auto coverage are purchased together under one provider. For families in Flower Mound, the article notes these savings can reach up to 25 percent, while also simplifying billing and claims into a single account.

A single provider means one bill, fewer logins, and a more streamlined claims process. The article states this is especially useful for households juggling multiple vehicles and property responsibilities, and notes that adding further policies can unlock additional discounts.
