* Disclosures: 1 The Financial Planning list was assembled using data gathered from Form ADV filings as of September 2014. 2 The Barron's ranking reflects the volume of assets overseen by the advisors and their teams, revenues generated for the firms and the

quality of the advisors' practices. The scoring system assigns a top score of 100 and rates the rest by comparing them with the top-ranked advisor.

3 The 2014 Financial Times Top 300 Registered Investment Advisers report was published on June 26, 2014 in both the newspaper and on

FT.com. The Financial Times’ methodology is quantifiable and objective. They went through the database of RIAs who are registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, and selected those practices reporting to the SEC that they had $300m or more in assets under management. The RIA firms had no subjective input. The FT then invited qualifying RIA firms – more than 2,000 – to fill in a lenthy application that gave more information about their practices. They augmented that information with our own research into the practices, including data from regulatory filings. The formula the FT uses to grade advisers is based on six broad factors and calculates a numeric score for each adviser. Areas of consideration include adviser assets under management, asset growth, the firm’s years in existence, industry certifications of key employees at the firms, SEC compliance record and online accessibility. They present the FT 300 as an elite group, not a competitive ranking of 1 to 300.The full report and the FT 300 methodology is available at: ft.com/intl/reports/registered-investment-advisers.

4 InvestmentNews qualified firms headquartered in the United States based on data reported on Form ADV to the Securities and Exchange

Commission as of May 1. To qualify, firms must have met the following criteria: (1) Latest ADV filing date is either on or after Jan. 1, 2012. (2) Total AUM is at least $100M. (3) Does not have employees who are registered representatives of a broker-dealer. (4) Provided investment advisory services to clients during its most recently completed fiscal year. (5) No more than 50% of regulatory assets under management is attributable to pooled investment vehicles (other than investment companies).

5 The Financial Advisor selection process was based on assessing 20 categories of practice management, such as customer service,

risk/investment planning philosophy, credentials, team dynamics, fee/cost structure, and average assets under management (AUM) per client.

6 The REP. magazine list was assembled using data from Meridian-IQ (in which Penton Media has a stake). To qualify, firms had to have at

least 10 percent high-net-worth clients and at least 10 percent non-high-net-worth clients for whom they do financial planning. None of the RIAS on the list operate a broker/dealer or bank, or is affiliated with an investment company. None of the firms are owned by banks. Finally, institutional clients do not make up a substantial portion of their businesses.

7 RMB Capital Management was chosen by Goldline Research to be featured in Forbes because it exceeded the following criteria: investment

advisory plus financial, tax, and estate planning services provided; a 65:1 client to investment professional ratio or better; advance certifications held; $150 million+ in assets under management; 15+ years of industry experience; no outstanding lawsuits or grievances; and a signed fiduciary oath.

8 Shook’s Winners Circle criteria per the article in Chicago Magazine were based on quantitative and qualitative evidence, including

solicitation of nominations by securities firms, banks, and other financial companies; review of internal compliance records; customer satisfaction data and client retention rates; interviews with members of management, industry peers, and advisors; weighted assets managed; revenues produced and years of experience; strength of the advisor’s team; and consideration to racial and ethnic diversity and smaller account sizes, allowing for greater variety.

Registration of an investment adviser does not imply any level of skill or training. The oral and written communications of an adviser provide you with information about which you determine to hire or retain an adviser.
