*Barron’s 100 Top RIA Firms: Awarded to Carson Group (2021-2024) For award consideration, advisors complete a survey with more than 100 questions about their practice. Barron’s verifies the data provided by the advisory firms and regulated databases and then will apply their rankings formula to the data to generate a ranking. The formula features three major categories of calculations: (1) Assets (2) Revenue (3) Quality of practice. In each of those categories, Barron’s executes multiple sub calculations. Listing in this publication and/or award is not a guarantee of future investment success. This recognition should not be construed as an endorsement of the advisor by any client. No compensation was provided directly or indirectly by the recipient for the participation or in connection with obtaining or using the third-party rating or award.

**Estimate based on a 2023 Fidelity Investments RIA Benchmarking Study measuring industry average organic growth of assets under management “AUM” (excluding market appreciation and M&A) compared to Carson’s internal analysis of average partner organic AUM growth. 2.1x is the total difference after three years of growth calculated using annual organic AUM growth data from each study over the same period (2020-2022) with the same methodology and compounding effect applied.

I was a lone wolf before Carson. Now I have a community of peers to learn from, lean on, and grow with.
