2 The FT 400 was developed in collaboration with Ignites Research, the FT’s sister company. The FT reached out to some of the largest brokerages in the U.S. to collect a list of advisors with 10+ years of experience and $300+ million in assets under management (AUM). The 940 qualifying advisers were asked to provide additional information which was added to FT’s own research, including data from regulatory filings. The FT used a formula to grade qualified advisers based on six attributes: AUM, AUM growth rate, compliance record, years of experience, industry certifications, and online accessibility. AUM is the top factor, accounting for an average of 70% of each adviser’s score. The FT placed a cap on the number of advisors from any one state that corresponds to the distribution of millionaires across the US.
