    Advisors who wish to be ranked fill out a 102-question survey about their firm. Data is collected as of 6/30/2025. Barron’s verifies the data against regulatory databases then applies their own rankings formula to generate a ranking. The formula features three major categories of calculations: (1) Assets, (2) Revenue, and (3) Quality of Practice. Each category contains multiple subcalculations. Barron’s ranking is based on a variety of quantitative and qualitative factors. Quantitative factors include, but are not limited to, amount of assets, type of assets, growth, and client retention. Qualitative factors include, but are not limited to, experience levels, advanced degrees, industry designations, the size, shape and diversity of teams, charitable and philanthropic work and the compliance records of the firm and its associated employees. The ranking may not be representative of any one client’s experience as it reflects a sample of client experiences. The award is also not indicative of future performance and there is no guarantee of future investment success.
