Discovery Data Only fiems that manage more than $100m were considered, and which aren't affiliated on a firm level with a broker-dealer or other institution (though a firm's employees may be dually registered). Since we wanted to make sure we were only considering financial planning-oriented RIAs and not money managers, we excluded firms that don't report having many financial planning clients. And in the spirit of fostering apples-to-apples comparisons, we also generally excluded those where the bulk of assets were non-discretionary. We've also endeav ored to remove RIAs whose assets under management aren't truly theirs, so we did our best to strike companies that are primarily back-end service providers, operating under brand names that are likely unknown to the retail clients being served. Then we looked at percentage growth in AUM and percentage growth in employees over the last three years, summed those numbers and came up with our growth score. If a firm grew AUM by $100m over the past three years got a leg up in the rankings. From there it was simple to select the winner in each state, and then the runners-up if there were any After doing all this, we reached out to some of the fiems to learn more. The RIAs in this supplement did not ask to be here. There was no way to compensate to be considered or to be named. For that matter they could not do anything to not be named. The mention of a RIA is not at all an endorsement of its services or its business FA Magazine, July 2022 FAS RIA survey is a ranking based on assets under management at year end of independent RIA firms that file their own ADV with the SEC. FA RIA ranking orders firms from largest to smallest, based on AUM reported to us by firms that voluntarily complete and submit FAs survey by our deadline We do our best to verify ALM by reviewing ADV forms.
