The recognition identifies 25 independent advisory firms across the United States that specialize in serving ultra-high-net-worth individuals, families, and family offices with investable assets of $25 million or more.
The CNBC Elite Advisors list was created to recognize firms operating at the highest levels of the wealth management profession and serving clients whose financial lives often span businesses, generations, philanthropic initiatives, and complex planning needs. Firms were evaluated based on organizational scalability, assets attributable to ultra-high-net-worth clients, the breadth and sophistication of their services and investment strategies, professional credentials, industry recognition, client retention, tenure, and overall reputation.

In addition to the quantitative evaluation, all firms selected for inclusion were required to pass a regulatory due diligence review based on SEC disclosures. CNBC accepts no payment for placement on the list.
No compensation was provided for consideration or inclusion in this recognition. Ranking awarded in June 2026 based on data within a 12-month period. Awards and recognition do not imply or guarantee future performance for Ballentine Partners or its clients.
