LIST METHODOLOGY

The 2024 AdvisorHub 150 Advisors to Watch over $1B ranking is based on an algorithm of criteria, focused on three key areas: Quality of practice, year-over-year growth, and professionalism and character. The rankings weigh the scores in quality and growth more heavily than other areas. Out of 1,816 total nominations received, only 150 advisors were recognized. Advisors considered have a minimum of seven years’ experience, a clean regulatory record with two or fewer complaints and no significant judgements, must have been with their current firm for at least two years and in good standing, and have at least $100 million in assets under management. The time period upon which the ratings are based is from December 31, 2022 – December 31. 2023.

“While the 1,000 Advisors to Watch ranking relies on practice data, what it ultimately measures is an advisor’s resilience and drive to succeed,” wrote Tony Sirianni, Publisher and CEO of AdvisorHub. “We recognize advisors who are still winning business and growing, regardless of where they are in their career.”
