About the Financial Planning RIA Leaders 2023: Top 150 Fee-Only List

As part of the upcoming print edition of Financial Planning’s annual RIA Leaders issue, data partner COMPLY used Form ADV filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission to rank RIAs that meet a six-part formula, eliminating any firms that take any type of commissions.

FP’s data partner for the RIA Leaders feature, COMPLY, produced the rankings by applying the following six criteria to firms’ required SEC Form ADV filings in July 2023:

  • Firms must have zero registered representatives of a broker-dealer.
  • At least 50% of the firm’s clients must be individuals or high net worth individuals.
  • Firms must not list commissions as a compensation arrangement.
  • Firms must have more than zero financial planning clients.
  • Firms must not list commission-taking businesses in “other business activities.”
  • Firms cannot be affiliated under common ownership with commission-taking businesses.
