In a year when the industry faced rising concerns around advisor shortages and the growing influence of artificial intelligence, Mission Wealth continued to thrive, thanks to our people-first approach, integrated tech stack, and long-term vision.

Adapting to a Changing Wealth Management Landscape

In FA Magazine’s accompanying editorial, industry leaders discuss the rise of AI in financial services, the increasing complexity of client needs, and the talent pipeline challenges many firms face. At Mission Wealth, we view these changes not as obstacles—but as opportunities.

  • Leveraging AI to Enhance, Not Replace, Advisor Expertise:
    We’re incorporating artificial intelligence into our planning and investment workflows to improve efficiency, identify trends faster, and deliver more value to our clients while maintaining the human connection that defines our relationships.
  • Investing in Cybersecurity and Client Protection:
    As technology plays a larger role in wealth management, we’ve doubled down on cybersecurity, ensuring our clients’ data remains safe and secure at every stage.
  • Cultivating the Next Generation of Advisors:
    In response to the advisor shortage, we’re expanding our internship and mentorship initiatives. Our goal: to create a robust, purpose-driven career path for future advisors that reflects our values and commitment to service.

Growth Rooted in Purpose

Mission Wealth grew assets under management by 41.72% year over year (2023-2024). While growth is exciting, it’s never our end goal. Our purpose is to empower families, professionals, and foundations to thrive financially and beyond.

“Rankings like this are a reflection of the deep trust our clients place in us,” said Matthew Adams, CEO of Mission Wealth. “We don’t pursue growth for growth’s sake. Every milestone we reach—like being named among FA Magazine’s Top RIA Firms and Top Fastest-Growing RIAs—is the result of a deliberate strategy focused on delivering meaningful impact to our clients and communities.”

Whether you’re navigating a business transition, managing a concentrated stock position, planning for retirement, or empowering the next generation—our Wealth Advisors are here to help. Recognitions like this reaffirm the strength of our process, the depth of our expertise, and the care we put into every client relationship.
