Counts are approximate as firms report them; a client type marked \"fewer than 5 clients\" without a number adds nothing. 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.","unit":"count","scope":"Alaska","firms_listed":18,"rows":[{"rank":1,"crd":172151,"firm":"Alaska Wealth Advisors","city":"Anchorage","state":"AK","value":672,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/172151/"},{"rank":2,"crd":164408,"firm":"Bright Road Wealth Management, LLC","city":"Anchorage","state":"AK","value":640,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/164408/"},{"rank":3,"crd":307522,"firm":"Blue Anchor Wealth Advisors, LLC","city":"Ketchikan","state":"AK","value":307,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/307522/"},{"rank":4,"crd":315647,"firm":"Heisten Wrenn Private Wealth, LLC","city":"Anchorage","state":"AK","value":224,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/315647/"},{"rank":5,"crd":325710,"firm":"Coho Advisory Services, LLC","city":"Anchorage","state":"AK","value":194,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/325710/"},{"rank":6,"crd":330182,"firm":"Change Wealth Advisors","city":"Anchorage","state":"AK","value":87,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/330182/"},{"rank":7,"crd":330282,"firm":"Girdwood Capital LLC","city":"Girdwood","state":"AK","value":70,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/330282/"},{"rank":8,"crd":133179,"firm":"Outlook Financial Services","city":"Anchorage","state":"AK","value":69,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/133179/"},{"rank":9,"crd":323296,"firm":"Alaska Wealth Management","city":"Anchorage","state":"AK","value":37,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/323296/"},{"rank":10,"crd":314987,"firm":"Artica Financial Services LLC","city":"Anchorage","state":"AK","value":36,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/314987/"},{"rank":11,"crd":315082,"firm":"Link Asset Management LLC","city":"Soldotna","state":"AK","value":30,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/315082/"},{"rank":12,"crd":291824,"firm":"Frontier Financial Planning","city":"Fairbanks","state":"AK","value":27,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/291824/"},{"rank":13,"crd":116693,"firm":"Dynamic Capital Management, Inc.","city":"Anchorage","state":"AK","value":23,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/116693/"},{"rank":14,"crd":116881,"firm":"Capital Advisors","city":null,"state":"AK","value":21,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/116881/"},{"rank":15,"crd":328597,"firm":"Unburdened Financial Planning","city":"Wasilla","state":"AK","value":16,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/328597/"},{"rank":16,"crd":291314,"firm":"Alaska Retirement","city":"Anchorage","state":"AK","value":15,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/291314/"},{"rank":17,"crd":337463,"firm":"True North Wealth Management LLC","city":"Palmer","state":"AK","value":12,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/337463/"},{"rank":18,"crd":327163,"firm":"Lake State Financial Inc","city":"Anchor Point","state":"AK","value":11,"base_value":null,"succeeded_to_another_advisers_business":false,"url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/firms/327163/"}]},"sources":[{"url":"https://www.sec.gov/files/investment/data/other/information-about-registered-investment-advisers-exempt-reporting-advisers/ia100226.zip","checked":"2026-10-07","label":"SEC, Information About Registered Investment Advisers (ia100226.zip)"},{"url":"https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/compilation","checked":"2026-10-07","label":"IAPD compilation reports (IA_FIRM_STATE_Feed_10_07_2026.xml.gz)"}],"related":[{"title":"Independent RIAs with the most clients, nationally","url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/rankings/most-clients/"},{"title":"RIA market data for Alaska","url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/states/alaska/"},{"title":"All RIA rankings","url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/rankings/"},{"title":"How the directory is built","url":"https://advisoriq.com/ria/methodology/"}],"notes":["Firms marked as successors reported on Form ADV Item 4 that they succeeded to another adviser's business;
