How this list is made
- Every row is an investment adviser registered with the SEC whose principal office on its latest Form ADV is in Houston (spelled Houston), TX.
- Regulatory assets under management (RAUM) is the figure the adviser reported on Form ADV Item 5.F. Affiliated advisers can report the same assets, so the sum overstates the city's market.
- Advisors counts the representatives registered through the firm on IAPD, wherever their branch is. Ranked by RAUM, then by name.
