Sheaff Brock Makes the Top 10 in This Year's CNBC Financial Advisor 100 List

Indianapolis Registered Investment Advisory Firm

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Sheaff Brock has been selected as #10 on CNBC's fifth annual Financial Advisor 100 List, which recognizes 100 advisory firms that help clients successfully navigate their financial lives.

To develop the 2023 list, CNBC used a proprietary methodology—developed in partnership with data provider AccuPoint Solutions—which took data culled from more than 40,000 RIAs into consideration. Aspects such as years in business, total accounts, assets under management, and the firm's compliance record were weighed to trim the list down to just over 800 RIAs. From there, CNBC and AccuPoint distilled the list into the final 100 advisory firms with additional data provided by each firm via email survey.

This is the fourth consecutive year that Sheaff Brock has been selected for CNBC's FA 100. The first year Sheaff Brock made the list, in 2020, the company ranked #95; in 2021, Sheaff Brock ranked #82; and in 2022, #68.

Sheaff Brock Managing Directors and co-founders Dave Gilreath and Ron Brock shared their excitement about the firm being included on the list again this year. "We're incredibly honored. To make the list once felt like a great achievement, and to make it for our fourth consecutive year—also selected as #10 in the U.S.—is very motivating. It is certainly a testament to our team for the outstanding commitment they have to supporting our clients," said Ron Brock.
