Who We Are 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 included a deeper pool or advisors from multiple countries, but we remain committed to our core values: raising the bar of service for wealth managers. |
