Top program managers by team AUM

Our popular Top Program Managers ranking considers several variables combined into a weighted average. Those variables include: 1) total team assets under management; 2) annual growth in team assets; 3) annual increase in team production; 4) average production per adviser; number of full-time advisers on the team directly overseen by the manager; and 6) number of LBEs on the team.

We also published our usual "Next 20," which ranked those program managers who ranked 21 through 40 in our analysis.

● See our Top 20 program managers (1-20) and Next 20 program managers (21-40)

Here we take a fresh look at all 40 (The Top 20 and The Next 20) and list the top 15 based solely on team assets-under-management. The numbers after their names show where they ranked on our original lists.
