The Forbes ranking of Best RIA Firms, developed by SHOOK Research, is based on an algorithm of qualitative criteria, mostly gained through telephone and in-person due diligence interviews, and quantitative data. Firms considered for participation have principals with a minimum of seven years of experience, and the algorithm weights factors including revenue trends, assets under management, compliance records, industry experience, the ability to demonstrate best practices in their approach to working with clients, and their commitment to diversity and philanthropy. Portfolio performance is not a criteria due to varying client objectives and lack of audited data. (As of 10/10/23.)

For the Barron’s Top 100 Independent Advisors ranking, advisors who wish to be ranked must first pass a prequalification process aimed at ensuring that those in the mix are experienced and sophisticated advisors. Those who meet the criteria then fill out a survey with more than 100 questions about their practices. Barron’s verifies that data with the advisors’ firms and with regulatory databases, then applies its rankings formula to the data to generate a ranking. The formula features three major categories of calculations: 1) assets (including client segments served), 2) revenue, and 3) quality of practice. Barron’s measures the growth of advisors’ practices and their client retention. A wide range of qualitative factors are also considered, including the advisors’ experience; their advanced degrees and industry designations; the size, shape, and diversity of their teams; their charitable and philanthropic work; and, their compliance records.

Forbes America’s Top Wealth Advisors and Best-in-State Wealth Advisors ranking was developed by SHOOK Research and is based on in-person, virtual, and telephone due diligence meetings to measure best practices, client retention, industry experience, credentials, review of compliance records, firm nominations; and quantitative criteria, such as: assets under management and revenue generated for their firms. Investment performance is not a criterion because client objectives and risk tolerances vary, and advisors rarely have audited performance reports. SHOOK’s research and rankings provide opinions intended to help investors choose the right financial advisor and are not indicative of future performance or representative of any one client’s experience. Past performance is not an indication of future results. Data as of 6/30/23. (As of 4/3/24.)

“Barron’s Hall of Fame” is an award honoring a group of advisors who exemplify long-term success and commitment to their clients. Each member of the Hall of Fame has appeared in 10 or more of Barron’s annual Top 100 Advisor rankings, and their long-looking commitment to excellence is a hopeful example for the industry to follow. The Top 100 Advisor rankings are based on data provided by individual advisors and their firms and include qualitative and quantitative criteria. Data points that relate to quality of practice include professionals with a minimum of 7 years financial services experience, acceptable compliance records (no criminal U4 issues), client retention reports, charitable and philanthropic work, quality of practice, designations held, offering services beyond investments offered including estates and trusts, and more. Financial Advisors are quantitatively rated based on varying types of revenues produced and assets under management by the financial professional, with weightings associated for each. Investment performance is not an explicit component because not all advisors have audited results and because performance figures often are influenced more by clients’ risk tolerance than by an advisor’s investment picking abilities.
