There are many reasons to consider independence as your final destination for your advisory practice; the freedom to run your business your way, the privilege to invest for your clients in the way that you desire, the liberty and latitude to build your brand based on your unique culture and approach to your business.

It does not have to be.

Barron’s “Top Firms,” Barron’s bases its ratings on qualitative criteria: firms with a minimum of 7 years of financial services experience, acceptable compliance records, client retention reports, customer satisfaction, and more. Firms are quantitatively rated based on varying types of revenues and assets advised by the firm, 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 Firm’s clients. The rating is not indicative of the past or future performance. Neither Private Advisor Group nor its Financial Advisors pay a fee to Barron’s in exchange for the rating.
