We are pleased to announce 11 CAPTRUST advisor teams have been named to the sixth annual Barron’s Top 50 Institutional Consulting Teams ranking. The teams, their lead advisors, and assets under advisement were ranked as follows:
CAPTRUST advisors gain two additional spots on the coveted Top 50 list since last year’s ranking, with the firm taking up nearly 25 percent of the 50 spots for 2020.
For this ranking, Barron’s recognizes the nation’s top teams specializing in investment consulting for defined contribution and defined benefit plans, endowments, and foundations.
The list is comprised of both independent and wirehouse advisory teams who are exemplary in the industry. Those named were evaluated on a range of criteria, including institutional investment assets overseen by the team, client tenure, revenue generated by those assets, number of clients served by the team, and the number of team members.
Advanced professional designations and professional accomplishments by the team were also taken into consideration.
Founded in 1997 in Raleigh, North Carolina, CAPTRUST is an independent registered investment advisor with more than 650 employees nationwide and $364 billion in client assets.

CAPTRUST’s mission is to enrich the lives of its clients, colleagues, and communities through sound financial advice, integrity, and a commitment to service beyond expectation.

With notable stops along memory lane, this cover story takes a look at what it was like to launch CAPTRUST in 1997 with a new kind of business model using a flat fee instead of charging commissions for each trade.
But while Miller admits the financial advisory business is not for everyone, he does not expect to buy firms that don’t share his aggressive commitment. In fact, when CAPTRUST does acquire a firm, half of the transaction proceeds are stock “so they become an owner in CAPTRUST,” says Miller.
He does tell Ohnesorge during the interview that a succession plan hasn’t been outlined for CAPTRUST. “In about five years, we’ll need to identify a successor,” he says. “I’ve got my mind on it.”
