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

The Top 40 Regional Brokers Under 40 produced nearly $104 million in total annual revenue, a nearly 20% increase from the comparable figure for 2024. On average, each advisor on the 40 under 40 regional list this year generated $2.6 million  in trailing 12-month production from Oct. 1, 2023, to Sept. 30, 2024. The No. 1 regional broker, however, generated more than $11.5 million.

The 2025 top 40 under 40 regional honorees collectively managed just over $19 billion in client assets, up from $13.2 billion the previous year.
