Firm Marks Eighth Consecutive Year on the List
Stratos Wealth Partners, a notable segment of Stratos Wealth Holdings, has once again secured a prestigious spot on Barron's Top 100 RIA Firms. Their remarkable achievement of being ranked No. 23 in this year’s national listing underscores their commitment to excellence in the wealth management sector.
For eight years running, Stratos has made its mark on this esteemed list, reflecting consistent performance and the dedication of its team. Jeff Concepcion, the Founder and CEO of Stratos Wealth Partners, expressed his gratitude, stating, "We are honored and humbled to have a continued presence on this list. The wealth management industry is complex and competitive, and to rank at No. 23 this year is a function of the passion and dedication of our advisors and home office team who support our growth."
The Barron's Top RIA Firms list was initiated in 2016 to recognize independent advisory firms based on criteria such as assets under management, growth, technological advancements, succession planning, and other important metrics. This comprehensive evaluation utilizes data gathered through surveys which focus on the firm's assets, revenue, advisor growth, and client retention.
Commitment to Quality and Excellence
Stratos Wealth Partners not only emphasizes quantitative metrics but also qualitative factors such as advisor experience, educational qualifications, diversity initiatives, charitable contributions, and compliance history. This multifaceted approach helps ensure that only the most deserving firms are recognized.
The firm manages over $15.1 billion in advisory assets and advises an additional $10.3 billion in brokerage and third-party managed assets, cumulatively amounting to $25.4 billion as recent figures indicate. This substantial growth is supported by a team of over 285 financial advisors and more than 85 dedicated home office staff members.
Operational Excellence for Advisors
Stratos aims to provide operational and strategic frameworks that empower advisors to expand their businesses effectively. With more than 100 locations scattered across the United States, it strives to create a robust infrastructure for its advisors.
As an SEC Registered Investment Advisor, Stratos Wealth Partners adheres to stringent regulatory standards, ensuring high-quality service delivery to its clients. The firm stands firm in its partnerships with LPL Financial, which are vital in facilitating its comprehensive service offerings.
Acknowledging the Award Process
Stratos Wealth Partners secured its position on Barron's list by undergoing a thorough vetting process, responding to a detailed questionnaire that informed the award committee's decisions. Importantly, Stratos did not pay for this recognition, highlighting that the selection process is independent and not indicative of any single client's experience.
The methodology behind Barron's rankings relies heavily on a variety of components, including asset management, the size and experience of teams, regulatory records, succession planning, technological investment, and diversity among staff, reflecting the true caliber of advisory firms in the industry.
