How We Chose the Top Financial Advisors in Scottsdale, Arizona

To create this list of top financial advisor firms in Scottsdale, we started by identifying SEC-registered firms with at least $100 million in assets under management (AUM). We included firms that employ professionals registered to provide investment advisory services, either solely as investment adviser representatives (IARs) or as both IARs and registered brokers. Dually registered advisors can offer investment advice and also help clients buy or sell securities like stocks and mutual funds. From there, we ranked the remaining firms based on several key factors, giving higher rankings to those with greater total AUM and to those that primarily serve individual clients rather than institutional investors. This approach helps ensure you're choosing from among the best financial advisors Scottsdale has to offer.
