About Mariner
Access is Everything
Mariner is a privately held, national financial services firm equipped to meet modern wealth needs. Our advisors — with Mariner Wealth or Mariner Independent — have access to in-house expertise including tax, estate planning, trust, insurance, investment banking and valuation. This allows advisors to spend more time focusing on their clients’ needs.
It’s all designed to help create opportunities to positively impact the lives of many. With this purpose, we’re raising the bar for the entire industry. Founded in 2006 with $300 million in assets under advisement, Mariner and our affiliates advise on over $245 billion in assets as of June 2024.*
Join us, and build momentum for your clients’ wealth and your career.

Our Story
In 2006, Marty Bicknell founded Mariner because he wanted to create a financial services firm that put clients at the center of everything. Fast forward to today, we’re nowhere near done growing this firm and maximizing our impact. We know the financial advisor model is rapidly changing, and Mariner isn’t just positioned to keep up. We’re positioned to lead the way — by giving advisors access to products and services they need: estate planning, tax advice, insurance and more.
A Barron's Top-Ranked RIA
Mariner was created to put clients at the center of everything we do. We are proud to have been recognized by Barron’s as a top five RIA for the last nine years — since this category ranking began.
Barron’s Top RIA Firms: Barron’s awarded 2024-2023 #4, 2022-2020 #5, 2019 #4, and 2018 #3 rankings to Mariner Wealth Advisors (MWA) based on data compiled for MWA 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 2016-2024 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, MWA has paid a fee to use the ranking. See the full disclosures here.
