Mercer Advisors Recognized by Citywire as the Fastest Growing Independent RIA in Colorado

National Registered Investment Advisory (RIA) Firm ranked 1st in the state of Colorado in the annual "50 Growers Across America" report of the top independent advisory firms by leading financial publication

DENVER, Aug. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Mercer Advisors Inc. ("Mercer Advisors"), a national Registered Investment Adviser (RIA) firm, announced today that Citywire has recognized the firm as the fastest growing independent RIAs in the state of Colorado in its annual "50 Growers Across America" report*.

According to Citywire, "As one of the wealth management industry's most prolific acquirers, it may not come as much of a surprise that Mercer Global Advisors is once again Colorado's top grower. After all, the Denver-based firm bought 18 RIAs in 2022, adding a whopping $11bn in assets under management in the process."

"Being recognized as the fastest growing independent advisory firm in Colorado is a bold testament to our strategic focus in building out a comprehensive suite of financial and investment planning resources, combined with tax, estate, and insurance solutions to bring a unified and integrated solution that helps clients meet their financial goals and objectives," said Dave Welling, CEO of Mercer Advisors. "That personalized service model is resonating with investors and advisors looking to join Mercer Advisors throughout the country and is a key reason we continue to grow our firm both organically and inorganically."

Citywire examined three categories to determine their rankings. These included percentage growth in assets under management (AUM), monetary growth in AUM, and percentage growth in employees. These three components are combined into a 'growth factor' that is then ranked across the independent RIAs in each state.

"We continue to seek out the best talent in the industry to support our rapid growth," Welling said. "As a result, we have nearly 1,000 of the most experienced, skilled, and knowledgeable professionals serving more than 28,000 clients, making us not only one of the fastest-growing firms in Colorado but also across the country. We look forward to continuing to invest in the technology, tools, resources, services, and human talent that will fuel our growth in the years to come."

We screen out RIAs that don't include financial planning as one of their core services, as well as firms that are offshoots of broker-dealers and banks. Lastly, we screen out firms that primarily function as back-end service providers for advisory teams. Once we've done all that, we look at the eligible firms' performance in 2022 across three categories: percentage growth in AUM, monetary growth in AUM, and percentage growth in employees. We crunch those numbers into a single figure known as the 'growth factor'. No one is paid or compensated for their appearance, nor are we.
