METHODOLOGY:

Barron’s "Top 100 Advisors" criteria is based on assets under management, revenue produced for the firm, regulatory record, quality of practice and philanthropic work. Portfolio performance is not a criterion because most advisors do not have audited track records. Neither UBS Financial Services Inc. or its employees pay a fee in exchange for these rankings. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Barron’s is a registered trademark of Dow Jones & Co.
