America’s Top 1,200 Financial Advisors

Barron’s magazine “America’s Top 1,200 Financial Advisors” rankings are based on data provided by over 4,000 of the nation’s most productive advisors. Factors included in the rankings: assets under management, revenue produced for the firm, regulatory record, quality of practice and philanthropic work. Investment performance isn’t an explicit component because not all advisors have audited results and because performance figures often are influenced more by clients’ risk tolerance than by an advisor’s investment-picking abilities. Awards or rankings are not indicative of future success or results, and should not be construed as an endorsement of the advisor.

Robert Doyle was ranked #8 in 2020 for North Florida.  Also, Robert Doyle was ranked #12 in 2019, #10 in 2018, #21 in 2017, #21 in 2016 and #27 in 2015. 123 Florida advisors received a ranking in 2019. The rating may not be representative of any one client’s experience and is not indicative of the financial advisors future performance.  Neither DWM nor Mr. Doyle paid a fee to Barron’s in exchange for the rating.

The Top 1,200 are drawn from all 50 states, plus the District of Columbia. This ranking is the largest and most comprehensive of the annual Barron’s advisor listings. It includes a cross section of private-wealth advisors, from independents who own and operate their own practices to advisors from the large Wall Street firms.

This special report lists the top advisors in each state, with the number of ranking spots determined by each state’s population and wealth. The rankings are based on assets under management, revenues generated by advisors for their firms, and the quality of the advisors’ practices. Investment performance isn’t an explicit criterion because performance is often a function of each client’s appetite for risk. In evaluating advisors, we examine regulatory records, internal company documents, and 100-plus points of data provided by the advisors themselves.
