Gilbert & Cook is honored to announce that we have been named one of the Top 300 Registered Investment Advisors in 2020 by the Financial Times!

The list recognizes elite advisors and independent RIA (Registered Investment Advisor) firms from across the United States. The FT 300 represents an elite group segmented by state, rather than a competitive ranking of one to 300.

Breadth of service is a key theme in this year’s list, with many advisers managing retirement planning, tax management, philanthropy and other aspects of clients’ financial lives beyond just investments. Read more about this honor on the FT.com

Over 750 qualified firms applied for the award, 300 of which were selected (40%).
