Methodology:

Registered Rep.'s Top 100 Registered Investment Advisors list was created with the help of QuestNet, a provider of specialty business information databases, the SEC Investment Adviser Registration Depository and trusted industry sources.

*Filing dates vary, but are comparable from one year to the next. The Top 100 RIAs are ranked by assets under management. Firms were

included based on the following criteria: 1. Greater than 50 percent of their assets must be from the retail marketplace. 2. They must provide financial planning services, portfolio management for

individuals or conduct due diligence on third party advisors. 3. They must not be doing business as a broker/dealer, bank or insurance company

or be a subsidiary of a large financial institution. 4. The RIAs must not invest in proprietary products.
