CNBC RANKING: This information is distributed for informational purposes only; to notify readers of a CNBC ranking. CNBC has no affiliation with Zacks, but rather evaluates investment manager performance on an objective basis. Criteria: CNBC enlisted data provider AccuPoint Solutions to assist with the ranking of registered investment advisors for its 2024 FA 100 list. The methodology consisted of first analyzing a variety of core data points from AccuPoint Solutions’ proprietary database of registered investment advisors. This analysis used an initial list of 40,896 RIA firms from the Securities and Exchange Commission regulatory database. Through a process, the list was eventually cut to 903 RIAs meeting CNBC’s proprietary criteria. CNBC staff sent an email survey/application to all those firms that met the initial criteria to gather more details. In turn, those advisory firms filled out the survey/application regarding their practice. The CNBC team verified that data with those firms and with the SEC regulatory database. AccuPoint once again applied CNBC’s proprietary weighted categories to further refine and rank the firms, ultimately creating the list of the top 100 firms. Additionally, an advisor’s appearance on the ranking does not constitute an individual endorsement by CNBC of any firm. The primary data points used in the analysis were reviewed, either as a minimum baseline or within a range, eliminating those firms that did not meet CNBC’s requirements. Once the initial list was compiled, weightings were also applied accordingly. These data points included: Advisory firm’s regulatory/compliance record, number of years in the business, number of certified financial planners, number of employees, number of investment advisors registered with the firm, the ratio of investment advisors to total number of employees, total assets under management, percentage of discretionary assets under management, total accounts under management, number of states where the RIA is registered and country of domicile. This ranking was awarded by CNBC on 10/2/2024 in respect of the calendar year period of 1/1/2024 to 12/31/2024. We do not compensate CNBC to obtain this rating. However, we pay compensation to CNBC to use their logo in connection with advertising this ranking. Zacks Investment Management did not provide any performance metrics to CNBC in regard to this ranking.

The Morningstar Universes used for comparative analysis are constructed by Morningstar (median performance) and data is provided to Zacks by Zephyr Style Advisor.

Neither Zacks Investment Management nor Zacks Investment Research has any affiliation with Morningstar. Neither Zacks Investment Management nor Zacks Investment Research had any influence of the process Morningstar used to determine this ranking. These ratings were awarded by Morningstar on 10/1/2025 in respect of the period from strategy inception to 9/30/2025 (Inception Dates: All Cap- 2/1/1995, Focus Growth- 2/1/2003, Dividend- 4/1/2004, Mid and Small Cap- 5/1/2009). We do not compensate Morningstar to obtain this rating. However, we pay compensation to Morningstar to use their logo in connection with advertising this rating.
