Methodology and sources
Limitations
- An adviser's book of assets is not public and is never estimated.
- Regulatory assets are summed as reported, so totals across affiliated advisers that report the same assets overstate unique assets.
- The historical movement record holds only moves by people still registered today; departures are recorded as they happen from September 2026.
- Filings before 2017 reported client mix as ranges, so firms whose latest filing predates 2017 carry no client share.
