To be eligible for the ranking, firms must be independent registered investment advisors and file their own ADV statement with the SEC, and provide financial planning and related services to individual clients. Firms must have at least $50 million in assets under management at year end. The list was segmented by asset categories: 1) $1 billion and over; 2) $500 million to <$1billion; 3) $250 million to <$500 million; 4) $150 million to <$250 million; and 5) $50 million to <$150 million. The comprehensive list consisted of 534 firms. No payment was required for participating in the survey. No organizational memberships were required of the Firm or individuals. Ranking on this list is not representative of any one client’s experience.

In addition, nominees are reviewed for ways that specific executive or staff talent, abilities, geographic presence and other unique features of the firm help them stand out in their communities. Ideal candidate firms have introduced or supported significant philanthropic programs (as well as products or services) for their respective communities that have demonstrated clear, measurable and replicable results.
