Our Mid-Year Update
Today’s current bull market started in October of 2022 after a 9-month, 25% drop in the S&P 500 bear market and is, according to historical standards, still relatively young. The dominance of the U.S. economy, its high productivity, and its growing working-age population are all factors that contribute to strong corporate earnings and earnings growth. Since equity markets go up in the long-term when corporate earnings increase, Sheaff Brock concludes that we may be due for another long bull market run.

*About CNBC Financial Advisor 100
The 2024 CNBC Financial Advisor 100 (ranked 7th 10/2/24), 2023 CNBC Financial Advisor 100 (ranked 10th, 9/12/23), 2022 CNBC Financial Advisor 100 (ranked 68th, 10/4/22), 2021 CNBC Financial Advisor 100 (ranked 82nd, 10/6/21) & the 2020 CNBC Financial Advisor 100 (ranked 95th, 10/6/20) list is an independent ranking. CNBC enlisted data provider AccuPoint Solutions to assist with the ranking of registered investment advisors for the CNBC FA 100 list. The analysis started with 40,896 RIA firms for 2024, 40,646, RIA firms for 2023, 39,818 RIA firms for 2022, 38,302 for 2021 and 37,369 for 2020 from the Securities and Exchange Commission regulatory database. AccuPoint screened the list down to 903 RIAs for 2024, 812 RIAs for 2023, 904 RIAs for 2022, 749 for 2021 and 750 for 2020 who were required to complete a survey to be in consideration for the CNBC FA 100 list. Sheaff Brock does not pay for applying for the award; however, Sheaff Brock does pay for use of the CNBC Financial Advisor 100 logo.
Data points used by AccuPoint for the ranking included regulatory/compliance record, number of years in the business, number of certified financial planners, number of employees, number of investment advisors registered with the firm, ratio of investment advisors to total number of employees, total assets under management, percentage of discretionary assets under management, total accounts under management, number of states where the RIA is registered and country of domicile.
Third-party rankings and recognition from rating services or publications, such as the CNBC FA 100, is no guarantee of future investment success and working with a highly rated advisor does not ensure that a client or prospective client will experience a higher level of performance or results. The ranking may not reflect a client or prospective client’s experience with the registered investment advisor. Past performance does not guarantee or indicate future results.
Sheaff Brock was selected as the #7 Financial Advisor in the U.S. on CNBC’s 2024 Financial Advisor 100 List, 3 places higher than last year’s ranking.
This is the 5th consecutive year Sheaff Brock has made the list and the 2nd consecutive year making the top 10. We’re very proud of this achievement, which is as much yours as it is ours. Your partnership is the reason we do what we do every day, so thank you for trusting us with your investments.
