Disclosures provided by The Financial Times: This fifth edition of the FT 300 assesses registered investment advisers (RIAs) on traits desirable to clients. To ensure a list of established companies with substantial expertise, the FT examines the database of RIAs registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission and select those that reported $300m or more in assets under management (AUM). The Financial Times’ methodology is quantifiable and objective. The RIAs have no subjective input. The FT invites qualifying RIA companies — more than 2,000 — to complete a lengthy application that gives the publication more information about them. They add this to their own research into their practices, including data from regulatory filings. Some 760 RIA companies applied and 300 made the final list. The formula the FT uses to grade advisers is based on six broad factors and calculates a numeric score for each company. Areas of consideration include adviser AUM, asset growth, the company’s age, industry certifications of key employees, SEC compliance record and online accessibility. The reasons for these criteria are as follows: AUM signals experience managing money and client trust; AUM growth rate can be a proxy for performance, as well as for asset retention and the ability to generate new business. We assessed companies on one- and two-year growth rates; Companies’ years in existence indicates reliability and experience of managing assets through different market environments; Compliance record provides evidence of past client disputes — a string of complaints can signal potential problems, for example; Industry certifications (CFA, CFP®, etc.) show the company’s staff has industry knowledge and signals a professional commitment to investment skills; Online accessibility demonstrates a desire to provide easy access and transparent contact information. AUM comprised approximately 70 to 75 per cent of each adviser’s score, while asset growth accounted for 15 to 20 per cent. Additionally, the FT caps the number of companies from any one state, based roughly on the distribution of millionaires across the US. The research was conducted for this report by Ignites Research, an FT sister publication.
