Beacon Pointe named one of America’s Top RIA Firms

For the third year in a row, Beacon Pointe has been named to Barron’s Top 100 RIA Firms. Each year, the award has grown to include more and more firms on the list, going from recognizing only 20 firms in 2016 to 100 now in 2020 with over 13,000+ Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) firms across the country to select from. The Barron’s Top 100 RIA Firms award ranking is dedicated to recognizing elite firms across the country that demonstrate steady growth, both organically and through mergers and acquisitions of smaller RIA firms. This year the ranking was expanded to include several new metrics including technology spending, staff diversity and succession planning.

Many of the firms selected by Barron’s currently have 15+ office locations, with an average of 75+ advisors and 29,000+ advisory clients. Beacon Pointe’s diversity in leadership (in addition to the firm’s CEO, more than 50% of the firm’s leadership team is comprised of women as well as almost half of its employee workforce is female), continual acquisitions and nationwide office expansion, steady client growth and openness to new technology with an unwavering aspiration to constantly elevate the service experience for clients will continue to play an important role in Beacon Pointe’s future.
