2016 Top 100 Here are America's top financial advisors, as identified by Barron's. The ranking reflects the volume of assets overseen by the advisors and their teams, revenues generated for the firms and the quality of the advisors' practices. The scoring system assigns a top score of 100 and rates the rest by comparing them with the top ranked advisor. A ranking of "N" indicates the advisor was not ranked in the specified year.
