Barron’s Top 100 Independent Advisors, 2024. Barron’s is a registered trademark of Dow Jones & Company, L.P. All rights reserved. The rankings as of 9/16/2024 are based on data provided by 579 applications and include qualitative and quantitative criteria. Time period upon which the rating is based is from 6/30/2023 to 6/30/2024, and was released on 9/16/2024. 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. 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. This ranking is not based in any way on the individual’s abilities in regards to providing investment advice or management. The ranking may not be representative of any one client’s experience, is not an endorsement, and is not indicative of an advisor team’s future performance.
