Barron’s publishes four financial advisor rankings each year. The Top 100, The Top 100 Women, The Top 100 Independents and The Top 1,000, in which advisors are ranked on a state-by-state basis.

The formula Baron’s uses to rank advisors is proprietary. It has three major components: assets managed, revenue produced and quality of practice. Investment returns are not a component of the ranking because an advisor’s returns are dictated largely by the risk tolerance of clients. The quality of practice component includes an evaluation of each advisor’s regulatory record. The Barron’s award may not be representative of any one client’s experience because it reflects on average of all of the experiences of the investment advisor's clients. This award is not indicative of the investments advisor’s future performance. The advisor does not pay a fee to be a recipient of this award. Barron's Magazine Top 1,200 Advisors in America and Top 50 External Advisors in Alabama are chosen based upon a proprietary methodology composing of three major components: assets under management, revenue generated for their firms quality of service and regulatory records. Investment performance is not an explicit factor, because audited performance records are not available. Total assets are all assets overseen by the advisor’s team, including some that are held at other institutions. The rankings are based on data provided by individual advisors and their firms. Advisor data is confirmed via regulatory databases, cross-checks with securities firms and conversations with individual advisors. No compensation was received from participating firms or advisors.
