Advisors considered for the America's Top 1,200 Advisors: State-by-State ranking have a minimum of seven years’ financial services experience and have been employed at their current firm for at least one year. Quantitative and qualitative measures used to determine the advisor rankings include assets under management, revenues generated by advisors for their firms, and the quality of the advisors’ practices. Investment performance is not an explicit criterion because performance is often a function of each client’s appetite for risk. In evaluating advisors, Barron’s examines regulatory records, internal company documents and more than 100 points of data provided by the advisors themselves.

Barron’s does not receive compensation from advisors, participating firms and their affiliates or the media in exchange for rankings.
