The Forbes Best-in-State Wealth Advisors 2026 ranking, developed by SHOOK Research, is based on an algorithm of qualitative criteria, mostly gained through telephone and in-person due diligence interviews, and quantitative data.

This ranking is based upon the period from June 30, 2024 to June 30, 2025. Those advisers that are considered have a minimum of seven years of experience, and the algorithm weighs factors like revenue trends, assets under management, compliance records, industry experience and those that encompass best practices in their practices and approach to working with clients.

“Portfolio performance is not a criteria due to varying client objectives and lack of audited data,” the news release said. “Out of approximately 52,043 nominations, roughly 11,302 advisers received the award. This ranking is not indicative of an advisor’s future performance, is not an endorsement, and may not be representative of individual clients’ experience.”
