RIA FIRMS

10 Years of Growth - 2006 to 2016

We are pleased to announce the RIA Channel annual ranking of the Top 100 RIA Firms. This year’s unique ranking showcases the wealth management firms by growth in assets over the past ten years with a majority of the firms accruing more than $1 billion in assets.

To be considered for our ranking, each firm must be a registered investment advisor (RIA) with the SEC, must provide wealth management services, and must serve individual clients as a primary focus. Firms managing large funds, hedge funds, broker/dealers, or having disciplinary disclosures were excluded. As the RIA market changes and grows, our sister company, RIA Database, continues to adapt its criteria to the current environment.

We are delighted to recognize these leading firms for their independence, their commitment to their clients, and their ability to grow through a decade of market challenges and rewards. We congratulate each of them for their success.

For more on our methodology, see the 2016 Top 100 Methodology.
