Barron's Top 100 Independent Wealth Advisors ranking is based on the value of assets under management by the advisor and their teams, revenue generated for the firm, and quality of the practice. The scoring system assigns a top score of 100 and rates the rest by comparing them with the top-ranked advisor.
