Chicago, Illinois based Mesirow, an independent, employee-owned financial services firm, announced that the firm has been named to Barron’s Top 100 RIA Firms list for the fourth consecutive year. Barron’s bases its annual ranking of independent advisory companies on assets managed by the firms, technology spending, staff diversity, succession planning and other metrics.
This year, Mesirow advances to a ranking of #41 from #48 in 2023, reflecting the firm’s focus on growing its Wealth Management business through both organic growth and strategic acquisitions.
“We are honored to again be included on Barron’s list of the Top 100 Registered Investment Advisor Firms,” said Natalie Brown, Mesirow CEO. “Mesirow Wealth Management is our firm’s founding capability, and we are proud of our 87-year history of advising families, entrepreneurs and non-profits on their most important financial goals.”
In 2023, Mesirow announced the acquisition of Front Barnett Associates, LLC, further expanding Mesirow’s wealth management offering to high net worth and ultra-high net worth clients, and in September 2024 acquired Price Wealth Management, an RIA firm based in Stuart, Florida.
“Our inclusion in Barron’s list of the 2024 Top 100 RIA Firms speaks to the dedication, expertise and commitment of our Wealth Advisors,” said Brian Price, CEO, Mesirow Wealth Management. “We look forward to continuing to serve our clients through comprehensive financial planning and expert investment selection.”
