Sheaff Brock Managing Directors and co-founders Dave Gilreath and Ron Brock shared their excitement with the 2024 results. “To be ranked 7th in the U.S. is an incredible achievement.

To develop the 2024 list, CNBC enlisted data provider AccuPoint Solutions to assist with the ranking of registered investment advisors for the 2024 CNBC FA 100 list. Analyzing data from 40,896 RIAs, AccuPoint screened multiple aspects such as years in business, total accounts, total assets under management, number of certified financial planners, number of employees, and the firm’s compliance record to trim the list down to 903 RIAs. From there, CNBC and AccuPoint distilled the list into the final 100 advisory firms based on additional data provided by each firm via email survey.
In 2020, the first year Sheaff Brock made the list, the company ranked #95; in 2021, Sheaff Brock ranked #82; in 2022, #68; and the firm came in at #10 in last year’s list in 2023.
