Mission Wealth Named Among USA Today’s Top Financial Advisory Firms in 2024

Mission Wealth, a leading provider of personalized financial and investment strategies, is proud to announce that we have been named one of USA TODAY’s Best Financial Advisory Firms of 2024. This prestigious ranking is a testament to our steadfast commitment to providing exceptional financial guidance and personalized service to our clients across the nation.

According to USA TODAY’s recent coverage, the landscape of financial advisory services is evolving, underscoring the importance of partnering with a trusted registered investment adviser (RIA) that prioritizes the client’s best interests through a fiduciary duty. Mission Wealth stands out in this critical aspect. We are dedicated to offering strategic, fee-based advice rather than relying on sales commissions, ensuring that recommendations are made with our client’s long-term financial success in mind, free from any conflicts of interest.

Ranked among the top RIAs, Mission Wealth has distinguished our firm through exceptional asset management and personalized financial planning.

About USA TODAY’s Best Financial Advisory Firm List

In its second year, USA TODAY and Statista recognize the “Best Financial Advisory Firms 2024” in the US. The top 500 RIA firms were awarded based on an innovative methodology consisting of two dimensions: A firm’s development of Assets Under Management (AUM) and recommendations by financial advisors, clients, and industry experts. The list attempts to simplify the jumble of the financial advisory industry and is based on the belief, espoused by many financial experts, that the best place to start is with registered investment advisers (RIAs). These are companies that have a fiduciary duty to act in their clients’ best interests at all times. They charge fees rather than sales commissions and employ investment adviser representatives (IARs) who are licensed to give financial advice.

The list by Statista for USA TODAY has culled that daunting universe of RIAs to a top 500 firms based on the growth of their assets under management over the short and long term, and recommendations from clients and peers. Further details about Statista’s methodology and contact information may be found on Statista’s website.
