SPECIAL
SECTION
B A R RADVERTISING
ONS
arrons began ranking financial advisors 12 years ago with the goal of shining a spotlight on the best people in the business.
Many stories had been written in the press over the years about bad financial advisors and the trouble they caused investors. But those
stories held little benefit for our readers. What our readers wanted to know is this: Who are the truly great financial advisors and what
are they telling their clients?
Thats the question weve tried to answer with our advisor rankings over the past dozen years.
From the outset, the rankings have been a remarkable success. It is now accepted in the industry that the advisors ranked by Barrons represent the
top 1% of their profession. In fact, its become a badge of honor to be called a Barrons advisor, a phrase thats cropped up informally to describe the
folks who make our lists. We began in 2004 with our first ranking of the nations top 100 advisors, working with a small firm called the Winners Circle,
which we acquired in 2008. We published our first list of the Top 100 Women Advisors in 2006. A year after that, we published a list of the Top 100 Independent Advisors, meaning the best advisors not affiliated with the big full-service firms like Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, or UBS.
One problem with all of these lists: They were dominated by advisors in New York, California, Florida, and a few other places where Americas wealth
is concentrated. We knew that we were missing great advisors in South Carolina, Alaska, Wyoming, and other states
with smaller amounts of wealth.
Advisors pay a fee
Our solution: the Top 1000 state-by-state ranking, which we first published in 2009 and expanded to 1200 spots last
to be listed in this
year. This list grants each state a minimum of six spots and allows proportionately more spots for states with greater
section, but their
assets.

All of our advisor rankings are based on hard numbers: an advisors assets under management and annual revenue
bearing on their place generated, as well as length of time in the business, client retention, and philanthropic work. Critically important, we

Every year, readers ask us how to get in touch with specific advisors who are ranked in Barrons. This special advertisthey will be ranked

only Barrons-ranked advisorsto publish their phone numbers, email addresses, and Website addresses. A link to this
special advertising section can be found at the top of any page on our Website: Barrons.com. Advisors pay a fee to be
listed in this section, but their participation has no bearing on their place in our rankings, nor does it guarantee that they will be ranked in future years.
In our advisor rankings, as in all Barrons journalism, the readers interests must come first and not be subordinated to any commercial considerations.
We want to thank all Barrons-ranked advisors and their firms for helping us make our rankings successful. We also want to thank these advisors for
setting the highest standards for their profession and for sharing their investing insights on a regular basis with Barrons readers.
