Wealth Enhancement Advisory Services, the Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) arm of Wealth Enhancement Group, is pleased to announce it has been named to the 2019 edition of the Financial Times 300 Top Registered Investment Advisers.* The list recognizes top independent RIA firms from across the U.S.

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.

The final FT 300 represents an impressive cohort of elite RIA firms, as the “average” practice in this year’s list has been in existence for over 22 years and manages $4.6 billion in assets. The FT 300 Top RIAs hail from 37 states.

Jeff Dekko, Chief Executive Officer of Wealth Enhancement Group said, “It’s an honor to be named to the 2019 Financial Times Top 300 RIAs. We believe our team-based approach to simplifying our clients’ financial lives is a better way to deliver financial advice, and our continued growth is a testament to that belief. We’re pleased to be recognized by such an esteemed publication for our team’s hard work and commitment to an excellent client experience.”

The FT 300 is one in a series of rankings of top advisors by the Financial Times, including the FT 401 (DC retirement plan advisers) and the FT 400 (broker-dealer advisers).
