2025_FP 40 under 40.png

With our annual rankings, Financial Planning recognizes the industry's top-producing young financial advisors at wirehouses and regional firms. 

Taken together, the Top 40 Brokers Under 40 generate just over $215 million in annual revenue. That was up barely from $207 million last year.

On average, brokers on the top 40 under 40 list this year generated nearly $5.4 million a year, similar to last year. The No. 1 broker, however, was responsible for generating nearly $13 million in revenue — and he held the top slot last year as well. (Read more on his story here.) All told, the 2025 class oversaw $42.8 billion in client assets, down from $53 billion last year.

Financial advisors earning a spot in the 2025 edition come from eight different firms: Janney Montgomery Scott, JPMorgan, Merrill, Morgan Stanley, Raymond James, RBC, UBS and William Blair.

For at least the sixth year in a row, Merrill Lynch Wealth Management and Merrill Private Wealth Management had the most brokers in the group, at 18. UBS again followed, with 12.

A note on our methods: Nominees for the rankings were age 39 or younger by Dec. 31, 2024, and were registered with a wealth management firm in the employee channel. FP uses production totals that are verified by each broker's employer to determine the rankings. The reported trailing 12-month production and AUM were by Sept. 31, 2024.
