The ranking comes off the heels of significant growth in RIA’s from 2018 to 2019, with Barron’s citing the top firms on their list grew over 40% since last year’s ranking. They also expanded the list from the Top 40 Firms in 2018 to 50 in 2019 to reflect the sea change.

“We are honored to be named once again to this year’s Barron’s coveted list of top RIA firms,” says John Hyland, managing director and co-founder, Private Advisor Group. “It is our goal to attract and support advisors who revere a spirit of doing the right thing for their clients, are focused on growth and compliance while serving the communities where they live and work. This ranking is an endorsement of our significant growth, but most importantly, that we continue to attract and retain the right advisors who align to our client first culture.”

According to Barron’s, the goal of these rankings is to shine a spotlight on the nation’s top financial advisors and firms, with an eye towards raising the standard in the industry. The rankings serve two distinct types of Barron’s readers. For wealth management professionals, they serve as an industry scorecard. For investors, the rankings are a tool that can help in the process of finding financial guidance, serving as a starting point for clients looking for an advisor.

To be eligible for this ranking, RIA firms submitted a comprehensive overview of their practices – from growth in assets under management and advisement to advisor satisfaction and culture. Also considered is the advisors experience, advanced degrees and industry designations, the size and shape of their teams, the philanthropic work and their compliance records.

Barron’s publishes four individual advisor rankings each year (Top 100 Advisors, Top 100 Women Advisors, Top 100 Independent Advisors, Top 1,200 Advisors) along with three team- or firm-based rankings (Top RIA Firms, Top Institutional Consultants, Top Wealth Management Firms).
