Our History Barron's began ranking financial advisors in 2004 to promote the best aspects of the wealth management industry. We held our first summit a year later. In 2006, we expanded our rankings beyond traditional brokerages to include top women and top independent advisors. In the intervening decades, our community of top advisors has expanded to include a deeper pool of advisors from multiple countries, but we remain committed to our core values: raising the bar of service for wealth managers. |
Improved Rankings At Barron’s Advisor, we believe that success is measurable. That is why since 2004, the analytics and methodologies behind our ranking systems are transparent, quantitative, and unbiased. As a result, Barron’s rankings are renowned for the ability to reveal what true success looks like.

Global Community When it comes to hosting leadership summits, no one has been doing it longer or better than Barron’s Advisor. Since 2005, Barron’s Advisor has been offering exclusive events for wealth managers who have earned a top ranking, as well as those exceptional non-ranked advisors who have passed our stringent AUM threshold. |

Barron’s Advisor held its first Top 100 Summit in the Pierre Hotel with a small group of the nation's top advisors. Since then, we have expanded to include a broad range of elite practices and business models—all with the goal of raising the standard of service for the whole industry.
