Adviser Investments is pleased to announce that, for the sixth year in a row, it has been recognized among 2019’s “Top 1,200 Financial Advisors” by Barron’s magazine—up from #8 in 2018 and #14 in 2017.
Although nationwide rankings of independent financial advisers for 2019 are not yet available, Adviser Investments came in at #30 in 2018, up from its #32 position in 2017 and #53 position in 2016. Barron’s’ national list has recognized Adviser Investments among the “Top 100 Independent Wealth Advisors” for six consecutive years.
Barron’s “Top 1,200 Financial Advisors” ranking is the magazine’s largest and most comprehensive list, recognizing leading advisers from all 50 states as well as the District of Columbia. The specific number of firms identified from each state is calculated by population and wealth, with Barron’s calculating on the following criteria: Assets under management (AUM), revenue generated by the firm, regulatory record, quality of practice and philanthropic work.
This Barron’s recognition is the just latest among Adviser Investments’ awards. Most recently, the firm was named among 2018’s “Best Places to Work in Money Management” for the third consecutive year by Pensions & Investments. Adviser Investments was one of 69 organizations named to Pensions & Investments’ list, which features the best employers within the wealth management sector.
InvestmentNews also included Adviser Investments among the top 10 on its inaugural 2018 list of “Best Places to Work for Financial Advisers.” The ranking “honors … firms that empower employees to provide clients with the best possible investment and financial planning advice.” Financial Times included the company on its “FT 300” list for 2018, which recognizes the nation’s top independent registered investment advisers.
Also in 2018, the National Association for Business Resources included Adviser Investments on its Boston’s Best and Brightest Companies To Work For® list—2018 marked the company’s third consecutive year achieving this honor. This competition identifies and celebrates organizations that display a commitment to excellence in their human resource practices and employee enrichment.
