RIA Leaders: Top 20 Firms for 2016

Every year, Financial Planning hones its approach to its annual RIA Leaders list. This year, we expanded our list to 150, from 100, to include more independent fee-only planning firms. Every effort is made to exclude firms with conflicts of interest, such as broker-dealer and insurance company affiliations. You can see our methodology here.
