NEW YORK, Sept. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Steward Partners Investment Advisory, LLC, a registered investment advisor owned by Steward Partners has been named to Barron's 2022 annual ranking of independent registered investment advisor (RIA) firms.

This is the third consecutive year that Steward Partners has been honored.

"Steward Partners has continued to enjoy year-over-year growth since we launched the firm nine years ago and that has continued throughout the pandemic and the related economic turmoil. We're proud our investment advisory arm was recognized by Barron's, not only for our growth in assets and revenue, but for our culture," said Jim Gold, CEO of Steward Partners Global Advisory. "Steward Partners is the only firm in the industry where all the employees are truly partners with an equity stake in the parent company, and that's been an important component of our success to date. Going forward, we will continue developing our platform by providing our partners with the best technology, investment solutions, and other resources so they can focus their attention on serving their clients."

Barron's publishes a number of individual advisor and team- or firm-based rankings each year with the goal of shining a spotlight on the nation's best financial advisors and firms and raising standards in the industry. For wealth management professionals, they serve as an industry scorecard.
