Third-party rankings and recognition from ratings services are no guarantee of future investment success. Working with a highly rated adviser does not ensure that a client or prospective client will experience a higher level of performance or results. Ratings should not be considered an endorsement for the adviser by any client, nor are they representative of any one client’s evaluation. Unless otherwise stated, Pathstone does not pay fees to participate in ranking or award surveys. We may pay fees to attend award ceremonies or obtain rights to market award/ranking outcomes.

Methodology: The Forbes ranking of America’s Top RIA Firms, developed by SHOOK Research, is based on an algorithm of qualitative criteria, mostly gained through telephone, virtual and in-person due diligence interviews, and quantitative data. The algorithm weighs factors like revenue trends, assets under management, compliance records, industry experience and those that encompass best practices and approach to working with clients. Portfolio performance is not a criterion due to varying client objectives and lack of audited data. No fee was paid for participation. A fee was paid to license use of the Forbes logo and participate in associated marketing. The ranking provided is as of October 1, 2025 and is based on data as of June 30, 2025.
