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 the state. State-registered advisers and firms that have left the SEC roster are not counted.
- 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 a sum across firms overstates the market.
- Advisors counts the representatives registered through the firm on IAPD. Ranked by RAUM, then by name.
