Certuity Recognized in Financial Planning’s RIA Leaders 2024: 150 Largest Fee-Only List
November 2024 – Certuity is one of 150 RIA Firms listed in Financial Planning’s RIA Leaders 2024: 150 Largest Fee-Only List for a second consecutive year.
“We’re grateful to Financial Planning for naming us a leading RIA, a reflection of the impact our client-focused approach is making. This achievement is thanks to the dedication of our employees and the trust of our clients.” stated Rich Bursek, President and Partner.
Certuity is a boutique wealth management and multifamily office firm that provides a holistic approach to wealth management, legacy planning and family office services. With offices, employees and clients throughout the country, Certuity provides its services nationwide while offering personalized and local expertise.
FP’s data partner for the RIA Leaders feature, COMPLY, produced the below rankings by applying the following six criteria to firms’ required SEC Form ADV filings in September 2024:
- Firms must have zero registered representatives of a broker-dealer.
- At least 50% of the firm’s clients must be individuals or high net worth individuals.
- Firms must not list commissions as a compensation arrangement.
- Firms must have more than zero financial planning clients.
- Firms must not list commission-taking businesses in “other business activities.”
- Firms cannot be affiliated under common ownership with commission-taking businesses.
In the absence of an official regulatory classification and definition for the titles “financial planner” or “financial advisor,” FP is using the closest available figure available through Form ADV requiring firms to state the number of employees “registered with one or more state securities authorities as investment adviser representatives.”
The recognition was issued November 20, 2024 and applies November 2024 through November 2025.
