Wealth firms with the most advisory staff, including broker-dealer firms in Maryland

As of October 2, 2026, Founders Financial Securities, LLC ranked #1 in Maryland in AdvisorIQ's ranking of wealth firms with the most advisory staff, including broker-dealer firms, with 101.

Showing all wealth firms, including wirehouses and broker-dealer firms. Independent RIAs only

Firms ranked by employees who perform investment advisory functions, including research (Form ADV Item 5.B(1)), in the data of October 2, 2026. SEC-registered and state-registered firms are both ranked. Independent wealth management RIAs are ranked: firms whose individual and high net worth clients hold at least half of their regulatory assets and that offer financial planning or portfolio management for individuals, leaving out broker-dealers, banks and their advisory arms. The all wealth firms view ranks the same way with those broker-dealer affiliated firms added. Asset managers, private fund managers, pension consultants and platform managers are never ranked (see the methodology). State lists use each firm's main office state, or its registration state when the main office is not public. The US list leaves out firms whose main office is outside the United States. Equal values share a rank and are listed by CRD number.
