Modera Wealth Management has been named one of the “Fastest-Growing Fee-Only RIAs” of 2024 by InvestmentNews.
This list celebrates firms with a minimum of $100 million in assets under management with no more than half of those regulatory assets being attributable to pension and profit-sharing plans. As InvestmentNews noted, “None of them receive commissions or are actively engaged in business as broker-dealers, meaning their sole motivation is overseeing clients’ best interests.” Modera ranked #14 in the category of RIAs with $1 billion or more in AUM.
“We’re incredibly proud of this recognition. Our unwavering commitment to putting clients’ interests first through our fee-only model, combined with our focus on comprehensive planning and evidence-based investing, has resonated deeply with individuals seeking truly independent advice. This growth reflects the trust our clients place in us,” said Tom Orecchio, Modera CEO.
