  • Financial Advisory Magazine Methodology: RIA firms applied for consideration to be included in the 2020 Financial Advisor RIA Rankings. To be eligible for the ranking, firms must be independent RIAs that file their own Form ADV statement with the SEC and provide financial planning and related services to individual clients. There are no fees or other considerations required of RIAs that are included in the FA 2020 RIA Ranking. 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 $100 million in assets under management as of 12/31/19 to be included in our print edition of Financial Advisor Magazine. Corporate RIA firms and investment advisor representatives (IARs) are not eligible for this survey. A corporate RIA is a registered investment advisor most often formed by a broker-dealer that files an ADV with the SEC. Advisors who are affiliated with the broker-dealer or other entity’s corporate RIA may offer investment advice. They are considered Investment Advisor Representatives (IARs) of the corporate RIA. All of the assets under management of the IARs are included in the corporate RIA’s ADV filed with the SEC.
