CHICAGO, IL (28 July 2022) – Kovitz Investment Group Partners, LLC (“Kovitz”), a value-based wealth management firm headquartered in Chicago, has been named as one of the top 100 RIA firms in the country by Financial Advisor magazine.

The magazine’s annual survey of the top RIAs ranks the firms from largest to smallest, based on year-end assets reported by the firms for 2021. From 2020 to 2021, Kovitz’s client assets grew by 21.14%.

FA's RIA survey is a ranking based on assets under management at year-end of independent RIA firms that file their own ADV with the SEC. FA's RIA ranking orders firms from largest to smallest, based on AUM reported to us by firms that voluntarily complete and submit FA's survey by our deadline. We do our best to verify AUM by reviewing ADV forms. To be eligible for the ranking, firms must be independent registered investment advisors and file their own ADV statement with the SEC and provide financial planning and related services to individual clients. Firms must have at least $500 million in assets under management as of December 31, 2021, to be included in the print edition of Financial Advisor magazine's 2022 RIA survey.
