Overall, approximately 18.9 percent of candidates were recognized. The full methodology2 that Forbes developed in partnership with SHOOK Research is available at www.forbes.com. 1This recognition and the due–diligence process conducted are not indicative of the advisor’s future performance. Your experience may vary. Winners are organized and ranked by state. Some states may have more advisors than others. You are encouraged to conduct your own research to determine if the advisor is right for you. 2Portfolio performance is not a criterion due to varying client objectives and lack of audited data.

FA's RIA ranking orders firms from largest to smallest, based on AUM reported to us by firms that voluntarily complete and submit FA's survey by our deadline. We do our best to verify AUM by reviewing ADV forms. To be eligible for the ranking, firms must be independent registered investment advisors and file their own ADV statement with the SEC and provide financial planning and related services to individual clients. Firms must have at least $500 million in assets under management as of December 31, 2021, to be included in the print edition of Financial Advisor magazine's 2022 RIA survey. Firms with under $500 million will be included in FA's expanded 2022 online RIA survey.

Forbes 2023 Top RIA

SHOOK ® Research, LLC – October 2023 – Data as of 12/31/22. America’s Top Registered Investment Advisor Firms ranking was developed by SHOOK Research and is based on in-person, virtual and telephone due diligence meetings and a ranking algorithm that includes: a measure of best practices, client retention, industry experience, review of compliance records, firm nominations; and quantitative criteria, including assets under management and revenue generated for their firms. Investment performance is not a criterion because client objectives and risk tolerance vary, and advisors rarely have audited performance reports. Neither SHOOK nor Forbes receive compensation in exchange for its Registered Investment Advisor Firm placements or rankings, which are determined independently. Participation in this directory is limited to ranked firms; once placed on a ranking, firms may choose to pay fees to Forbes and Shook for premium listing features as indicated by highlighted names.

SHOOK’s research and rankings provide opinions intended to help investors choose the right financial advisor or firm and not indicative of future performance or representative of any one client’s experience.

Citywire

CityWire RIA, July 2022 Methodology: This report is based on the most recent Form ADV data reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission at the time of publication, as helpfully gathered by a data partner, Discovery Data. Only firms that manage more than $100m were considered, and which aren’t affiliated on a firm level with a broker-dealer or other institution (though a firm’s employees may be dually registered). Since we wanted to make sure we were only considering financial planning-oriented RIAs and not money managers, we excluded firms that don’t report having many financial planning clients. And, in the spirit of fostering apples-to-apples comparisons, we also generally excluded those where the bulk of assets were non-discretionary. We’ve also endeavored to remove RIAs whose assets under management aren’t truly ‘theirs”, so we did our best to strike companies that are primarily back-end service providers, operating under brand names that are likely unknown to the retail clients being served. Then we looked at percentage growth in AUM and percentage growth in employees over the last three years, summed those numbers, and came up with our ‘growth score.’ If a firm grew AUM by $100m over the past three years, it got a leg up in the rankings. From there it was simple to select the winner in each state, and then the runners-up if there were any. After doing all this, we reached out to some of the firms to learn more. The RIAs in this supplement did not ask to be here. There was no way to compensate to be considered or to be named. For that matter, they could not do anything to not be named. The mention of a RIA is not at all an endorsement of its services or its business.

Barron’s Top 1200

Barron’s “Top 100 1,200 Financial Advisors,” March, 2022. Barron’s “Top 1,200 Financial Advisors” bases its ratings on qualitative criteria: professionals with a minimum of seven years of financial services experience, acceptable compliance records, formal succession plans, high client retention, and more. Financial Advisors are quantitatively rated based on varying types of revenues and assets advised by the financial professional, regulatory records, quality of practice and philanthropic work with weightings associated for each. Because individual client portfolio performance varies and is typically unaudited, this rating focuses on customer satisfaction and quality of advice. The rating may not be representative of any one client’s experience because it reflects a sample of all of the experiences of the Financial Advisor’s clients. The rating is not indicative of the Financial Advisor’s past or future performance. Neither Principle Wealth Partners nor its Financial Advisors pay a fee to Barron’s in exchange for the rating, however Principle Wealth Partners does pay to use the award ribbon for marketing materials.
