Wealth Enhancement Advisory Services (WEAS), the Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) arm of Wealth Enhancement, is pleased to announce its ranking as the #7 Mega RIA on Barron’s 2025 list of Top 100 RIA Firms.* This year marks the firm’s seventh consecutive inclusion on this prestigious ranking.
“We are honored that Wealth Enhancement Advisory Services has once again been acknowledged by Barron’s as a top RIA,” said Jeff Dekko, Chief Executive Officer of Wealth Enhancement. “I’m incredibly proud of our dedicated team, who work tirelessly to deliver exceptional financial guidance to our clients every day. Our continued growth enables us to serve more families than ever—we now operate in 36 states with over 150 offices nationwide.”
Barron’s annual ranking evaluates independent advisory firms based on a variety of criteria, including assets under management, growth, technology spending, succession planning, and more. Now in its ninth year, the list highlights firms that demonstrate strength, innovation, and a client-first approach in a competitive industry.
About the Research Process
This ranking is based on qualitative and quantitative factors including assets under management, revenue, regulatory record, staffing levels and diversity, technology spending, succession planning, and more. RIA firms applied for consideration, having met a minimum set of criteria. There are no fees required of RIAs that apply for the Top RIA list. For the first time, Barron’s ranked the largest registered investment advisor firms separately from its broader RIA ranking. For the list of mega RIAs, Barron’s selected firms that manage 2% or more of the total assets of all ranking applicants. This year, that creates a threshold of $70 billion in assets.
