¹ Barron’s Top RIA Firms: Barron’s awarded 2025 #6 (Mega RIA), 2024-2023 #4, 2022-2020 #5, 2019 #4, and 2018 #3 rankings to Mariner based on data compiled for MarinerWealth Advisors, LLC registered investment adviser subsidiaries and the 2017 #2 and 2016 #1 rankings to Mariner Holdings (MH) based upon data compiled for MH registered investment adviser subsidiaries. Rankings for 2016-2025 were published in September of each award year and were based on June 30th data, including annual figures for the previous three years. No fee was paid for participation in the rankings; however, Mariner has paid a fee to use the ranking. The rankings are based on firm surveys, and filings with the regulatory databases were used to cross-check the data provided. The rankings are based on assets managed by the firms, technology spending, staff diversity, succession planning, and other metrics. The formula Barron’s uses to rank firms is proprietary. In 2025 Barron’s ranked the largest registered investment advisor firms separately from its broader Top 100 RIA ranking. For the list of Mega RIAs, they selected firms that manage 2% or more of the total assets of all ranking applicants. In 2025, that creates a threshold of $70 billion in assets. The number of firms included in the rankings was: 20 (2016), 30 (2017), 40 (2018), 50 (2019), 100 (2020-2024) and 109 (2025). The ranking does not indicate future performance, and there is no guarantee of future success. For additional information, visit www.barrons.com.
² Retention rates for 2025 are annualized using actual data from 1/1/2025–9/30/2025 and projected terminations for the remainder of the year based on average historical termination patterns. Annualization is applied to account for natural seasonal fluctuations and to approximate a full-year retention rate. As a result, these figures represent estimates and may differ from final year-end results.
