FP50: Which IBDs Have the Most High-End Reps?

As part of the FP50, Financial Planning tracks the average production of the top 20% of advisors at each independent broker-dealer along with the percentage of reps who produce more than $150,000 annually. It turns out that many of the firms with the most top-shelf advisors didn't make it to the top 50 on our original ranking of the biggest IBDs.

See which firms had the most high-end reps, the average production of their top advisors and where they ranked on the FP50.
