This is the seventh annual FT 300 list, produced independently by Ignites Research, a division of Money-Media, Inc., on behalf of the Financial Times. Ignites Research provides business intelligence on investment management.
Registered investment adviser (RIA) firms applied for consideration, having met a minimum set of criteria. Applicants were then graded on six factors: assets under management (AUM), assets under management (AUM) growth rate, years in existence, advanced industry credentials of the firm’s advisers, online accessibility, and compliance records. There are no fees or other considerations required of registered investment advisers (RIAs) that apply for the FT 300.
The final FT 300 represents an impressive cohort of elite registered investment adviser (RIA) firms, as the median assets under management of this year’s group is $1.9 billion. The FT 300 Top Registered Investment Advisers represent 39 different states and Washington, D.C.
The FT 300 is one in a series of rankings of top advisers by the Financial Times, including the FT 401 (DC retirement plan advisers) and the FT 400 (broker-dealer advisers).
Joe Rollins, the firm’s founder, said, “Since founding my CPA practice, Rollins & Van Lear, P.C., in 1980 and my registered investment adviser (RIA) firm in 1990, I have always worked diligently to ensure the members of our team place our clients' interests above our interests. This philosophy has served our clients well and now, 30 years later, we are both excited and honored to announce that we have, once again, been named to the Financial Times 300 Top Registered Investment Advisers – making the list in 2018, 2019 and 2020.”
