AdvisorHub's 200 Fast Growing Advisors to Watch and 100 Advisors to Watch – Under $1 Billion rankings were developed by AdvisorHub and are based on Scope of practice measured by assets, production, and level of service; Growth of practice consisting of year-over-year growth in assets, households, and production; and lastly, Professionalism which includes regulatory record, community service, and team diversity. Investment performance is not a criterion because client objectives and risk tolerances vary, and advisors rarely have audited performance reports.

These advisors won by bringing in new clients, increasing assets and boosting production. Participation is open to all firms and advisors. Nominees are required to have a minimum of seven years-experience, $100m minimum AUM, and a clean regulatory record. Using data on assets, households, and production, we rank advisors on three categories: scale, growth, and professionalism.

Scale, is the traditional metric used in most rankings. It's essentially the size of the business and its profitability. We also considered staffing, clientele, and several other factors. This in aggregate provides a snapshot of the size and sophistication of a practice.

Source: Financial Times The Financial Times 400 Top Financial Advisors is an independent listing produced annually by Ignites Research, a division of Money–Media, Inc., on behalf of the Financial Times (April 2020). To qualify for the list, advisers had to have 10 years of experience and at least $300 million in assets under management (AUM) and no more than 60% of the AUM with institutional clients. The FT reaches out to some of the largest brokerages in the U.S. and asks them to provide a list of advisors who meet the minimum criteria outlined above. These advisors are then invited to apply for the ranking. Only advisors who submit an online application can be considered for the ranking. In 2020, roughly 1,040 applications were received and 400 were selected to the final list (38.5%). The 400 qualified advisers were then scored on six attributes: AUM, AUM growth rate, compliance record, years of experience, industry certifications, and online accessibility. AUM is the top factor, accounting for roughly 60–70 percent of the applicant's score. Additionally, to provide a diversity of advisors, the FT placed a cap on the number of advisors from any one state that's roughly correlated to the distribution of millionaires across the U.S. Neither Steward Partners Investment Solutions, LLC nor its Wealth Managers pays a fee to The Financial Times in exchange for the rating.
