Financial Advisors by State

Every investment advisory firm managing $100 million or more in client assets is required to register with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission by filing Form ADV. This filing includes detailed information about fees, compensation methods, conflicts of interest, disciplinary history, and business practices.

AdvisorRanked downloads and parses these public filings monthly to provide consumers with a transparent, searchable database. We compute a Red Flag Score for each firm based on disclosed risk factors — including complaints, broker-dealer affiliations, custody arrangements, and fee positioning relative to peers.
