Developed by Wealth Management in collaboration with its partners, including Snappy Kraken founder Robert Sofia, the Thrive Awards are based on revenue growth, not assets under management. Wealth Management defines revenue as gross revenue from AUM fees, commissions, trails, hourly or subscription fees, retainers and other similar wealth and investment management revenues before any costs or expenses. Companies, individuals and teams are all eligible to participate in the program. Advisors must be based in the U.S., offer financial services to individual clients and have been receiving revenue since January 1, 2015.

Applicants for the awards were assessed and segmented by various criteria, including size of book, geographic location, type of business, gender and other measures. Read the full list here: https://www.wealthmanagement.com/people/2019-list-fastest-growing-advisors?full=1
