Recognition as one of the country’s top independent RIAs coincides with firm’s 40th anniversary
MINNEAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#FT300–As it celebrates its 40th anniversary as a leading independent wealth management firm, JNBA Financial Advisors has been named to the Financial Times 300 Top Registered Investment Advisers list. This is the fifth year that JNBA has been recognized on the list, which recognizes top independent RIA firms from across the country; it was also included in the 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2018 editions.
“Our independence has been our firm’s north star for the past four decades,” says Kim Brown, president of JNBA Financial Advisors. “We’re very proud to be recognized once again for our ‘advice driven by advocacy’ approach, unwavering commitment to our clients and leadership as one of the top independent RIAs in the nation, particularly as we mark our 40th anniversary.”
This is the sixth annual FT 300 list, produced independently by the Financial Times in collaboration with Ignites Research, a subsidiary of the FT that provides business intelligence on the asset management industry. RIA firms applied for consideration, having met a minimum set of criteria. Applicants were then graded on six factors: assets under management (AUM), AUM growth rate, years in existence, advanced industry credentials of the firm’s advisers, online accessibility, and compliance records. There are no fees or other considerations required of RIAs that apply for the FT 300.
Building on a rich history of operating as an independent RIA and by delivering a high standard of asset management and comprehensive financial planning, JNBA has posted a more-than-97-percent client-retention rate since tracking began in 2001, and its business is continuing to grow and thrive with nearly $1 billion in assets under management today.
JNBA’s fiercely independent status allows the firm to customize investment strategies to individual client goals, which are implemented by an experienced team and disciplined process, including a review of each portfolio every 10 business days. JNBA’s dedication to being an advocate for its clients, employees and community has fueled the firm’s continued growth, including opening an office in Duluth, Minn., and today, the firm is leading the way with a new, contemporary approach to the family office. Their team provides fiduciary oversight and services – from strategy to implementation – for clients seeking to simplify the oversight of their family’s wealth, from busy C-level executives and business owners to high-net-worth families to high-profile professional athletes and more.
JNBA brings together and ensures that all of the key members of your team – including accountants, attorneys, business consultants and communications specialists – are working together and pointed in the same direction to achieve your goals and objectives.
JNBA has been recognized locally and nationally for its dedication to clients. Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota named JNBA a winner of its 2015 BBB Torch Awards for Ethics, and the firm was named a finalist in the 2016 BBB International Torch Awards for Ethics. Barron’s named JNBA a top 1,200 financial advisor every year since 2010 and Minnesota’s top financial advisor in 2018. JNBA was also named to the Forbes list of the Top Wealth Advisors in 2018.
