Top program managers by team productivity

Our popular Top Program Managers ranking considers several variables combined into a weighted average, including team AUM, team production, number of advisers and production per adviser.

We also published our usual "Next 20," which ranked the 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)
● See our Top program managers by team AUM

Here we take a fresh look at all 40 (The Top 20 and The Next 20) and list the top teams based solely on production per adviser. In some cases, we generated our own estimates of the per-adviser productivity numbers based on a team's annual production and its average headcount over the year. The numbers after their names show where the program managers ranked on our original lists.
