Private Advisor Group Ranked No. 5 on Barron's Top 100 RIA Firms List for 2026
Private Advisor Group has been ranked fifth in the 2026 edition of Barron’s list of top 100 registered investment advisory (RIA) firms, marking its ninth consecutive year among the nation's leading RIAs. The firm attributes this achievement to strong organic growth, strategic acquisitions, and continued investments in technology and advisor support. In April 2026, Private Advisor Group completed what it called its largest acquisition yet, expanding both reach and resources. With over $57.7 billion in assets under management as of June 30, 2026, the firm supports independent financial advisors through a client-centric approach focused on growth, fiduciary adherence, and succession planning. Barron’s ranking is based on factors such as managed assets, regulatory records, revenue, staff size, and other qualitative metrics—though it does not consider investment returns or investor experience. The recognition reflects data from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. Private Advisor Group emphasized that neither the firm nor its advisors pay for inclusion in the list.
