Moneta Group Investment Advisors, LLC ("Moneta") has been recognized by Barron's as a Top RIA Firm for ten consecutive years: ranked #7 (2016), #7 (2017), #4 (2018), #5 (2019), #10 (2020), #10 (2021), #11 (2022), #14 (2023), #8 (2024), and #8 (2025).

Barron's is a weekly financial publication published by Dow Jones & Company. The Top RIA Firms ranking is compiled annually and published in September of each year; each year's ranking reflects data as of a period specified by Barron's for that year, which has varied between June 30 and December 31 depending on the year (see rankings by year below for the applicable measurement date). Moneta was invited by Barron's to participate and submitted an extensive survey about its practice (in recent years, a 102-question survey), which Barron's verifies against the firm's data and regulatory databases (e.g., Form ADV). Barron's then applies its own ranking formula, which weighs three broad categories — (1) assets, (2) revenue, and (3) quality of practice — each with multiple sub-calculations, to generate the final ranking. Additional information on Barron's methodology is available at [barrons.com/advisor/articles/barrons-methodology-for-ranking-financial-advisors-c4831b04].

Moneta did not pay a fee to be considered for or included in this ranking in any year, nor did it pay any fee for licensing rights or article reprints following its recognition.

This ranking is not indicative of Moneta's future performance and is not representative of any one client's experience. It is not an endorsement of Moneta or any of its investment professionals, and is not a guarantee that any client will experience a particular level of results. Barron's is not affiliated with Moneta. Investors should not rely on this ranking alone and are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence, including reviewing Moneta's Form ADV Part 2A and Form CRS, available at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov or upon request.

Financial Advisor magazine's RIA Survey & Ranking is a voluntary, annual survey of independent registered investment advisers. Moneta was invited by Financial Advisor to participate and submitted responses to the survey each year. To be eligible, firms must be independent registered investment advisers that file their own Form ADV with the SEC and provide financial planning and related services to individual clients; hybrid RIAs, corporate RIAs, and investment adviser representatives are not eligible. Firms are ranked from largest to smallest based on assets under management as of December 31 of the applicable year, as reported by the firm and reviewed by Financial Advisor against the firm's Form ADV filings.

Moneta did not pay a fee to be considered for or included in this ranking in any year, nor did it pay any fee for licensing rights or article reprints following its recognition.

This ranking is based solely on reported assets under management among eligible independent RIAs; it does not reflect any assessment of the quality of advice, client service, or investment performance provided by Moneta, and should not be construed as an endorsement of Moneta by Financial Advisor magazine or any client. This ranking is not indicative of Moneta's future performance and is not representative of any one client's experience. Registration as an investment adviser with the SEC does not imply any level of skill or training. Investors should not rely on this ranking alone and are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence, including reviewing Moneta's Form ADV Part 2A and Form CRS, available at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov or upon request.

Moneta Group Investment Advisors, LLC ("Moneta") has been named to the National Association of Plan Advisors' ("NAPA") Top DC Advisor Multi-Office Firms list for six years (2021–2026, reflecting DC assets under advisement as of December 31 of the prior year in each case), and to NAPA's related Top DC Advisor Teams list in 2020 (reflecting DC assets under advisement as of December 31, 2019, when Moneta operated from a single office). 

NAPA is a professional association for retirement plan advisors and publishes these lists annually based on an application process. Moneta submitted an application each year, including self-reported data on its defined contribution ("DC") assets under advisement ("AUA"). The Top DC Advisor Multi-Office Firms list recognizes organizations with more than one office or physical location and requires DC AUA in excess of $1 billion; the related Top DC Advisor Teams list recognizes single-location firms or teams with DC AUA of at least $100 million. Both lists present all qualifying firms that submit an application by NAPA's deadline; firms are not numerically ranked against one another. NAPA does not independently verify the AUA figures firms submit. 

Moneta did not pay a fee to be considered for or included in either list in any year, nor did it pay any fee for licensing rights or article reprints following its recognition. 

Inclusion on these lists reflects only self-reported defined contribution assets under advisement; it does not reflect any assessment of the quality of advice, client service, or investment performance provided by Moneta, and should not be construed as an endorsement of Moneta by NAPA or any client. This recognition is not indicative of Moneta's future performance and is not representative of any one client's experience. Investors should not rely on this recognition alone and are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence, including reviewing Moneta's Form ADV Part 2A and Form CRS, available at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov or upon request.

Moneta Group Investment Advisors, LLC ("Moneta") was named a Best Places to Work for Financial Advisors by InvestmentNews in 2018, 2019, and 2021. 

This program was managed by InvestmentNews in partnership with Best Companies Group, an independent research firm. To be considered, an organization had to be a registered investment adviser, an independent broker-dealer affiliate, or a hybrid firm doing business through an RIA; be based in the U.S.; have a minimum number of employees; and have been in business at least one year. Moneta proactively applied to participate each year it was recognized. Eligible organizations that choose to participate complete an employer questionnaire describing their workplace policies and offerings, and their employees separately complete a confidential survey covering topics such as culture, benefits, compensation, employee development, and diversity and inclusion. InvestmentNews and Best Companies Group then analyze both the employer and employee data to determine the final list. This recognition reflects the opinions of Moneta's employees who completed the survey and does not reflect the experience of Moneta's advisory clients. 

Moneta did not pay a fee to be considered for, included in, or to use this recognition in any year. 

InvestmentNews continues to publish this recognition annually; Moneta has not applied to participate since 2021, and this recognition reflects Moneta's workplace practices as of the years indicated only. 

This recognition is based solely on internal employer and employee survey feedback regarding workplace culture; it is not based on, and does not reflect, the quality of investment advice, client service, or investment performance provided by Moneta, and should not be construed as a client testimonial or an endorsement of Moneta's advisory services.

Moneta Group Investment Advisors, LLC ("Moneta") was recognized by Citywire RIA in its "50 Growers Across America" report as the fastest-growing RIA in Missouri in 2025 and 2023, and as runner-up for fastest-growing RIA in Missouri in 2022.

Citywire RIA is a financial industry publication that compiles this report annually using historical Form ADV data filed with the SEC (data compiled for Citywire by Discovery Data in 2022 and 2023, and by FINTRX in 2025). Citywire applies a series of eligibility screens to this data — excluding firms that do not offer financial planning as a core service, firms that are offshoots of broker-dealers or banks, and firms that function primarily as back-end service providers — and then evaluates eligible firms' year-over-year growth across three factors: percentage growth in assets under management, dollar growth in assets under management, and percentage growth in employees. These figures are combined into a "growth factor" score, and the highest-scoring firm in each state is named that state's top grower, with runners-up also recognized in most states.

This ranking is based entirely on publicly available regulatory data. Moneta did not apply, submit information, or request to be considered, and was selected by Citywire without any involvement from Moneta. Moneta did not pay a fee to be considered for or included in this ranking in any year, nor did it pay any fee for licensing rights or article reprints following its recognition.

This ranking reflects only asset and employee growth as reported to the SEC; it does not reflect any assessment of the quality of advice, client service, or investment performance provided by Moneta, and should not be construed as an endorsement of Moneta by Citywire or any client. This ranking is not indicative of Moneta's future performance and is not representative of any one client's experience. Investors should not rely on this ranking alone and are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence, including reviewing Moneta's Form ADV Part 2A and Form CRS, available at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov or upon request.

Moneta Group Investment Advisors, LLC ("Moneta") has been recognized by Financial Planning magazine on its RIA Leaders list of the 150 Largest Fee-Only RIAs for six consecutive years, most recently ranking #1 in 2025 (also #1 in 2024, #2 in 2023, #2 in 2022, #6 in 2021, and #2 in 2020).

This ranking is produced annually by Financial Planning's data partner, COMPLY, which compiles the list using firms' Form ADV filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as of a date specified for each year's edition (for example, May 1, 2025, for the 2025 ranking). Firms are not required to apply, submit data, or pay any fee to be considered; COMPLY screens SEC filings against six eligibility criteria — including that the firm has no registered representatives of a broker-dealer, that at least 50% of its clients are individuals or high-net-worth individuals, that it does not list commissions as a compensation arrangement, and related tests intended to identify fee-only firms — and then ranks all qualifying firms by assets under management. Each year's ranking reflects Moneta's regulatory filings as of December 31 of the prior year.

Moneta did not pay a fee to be considered for or included in this ranking in any year, nor did it pay any fee for licensing rights or article reprints following its recognition.

This ranking is based solely on assets under management among firms meeting Financial Planning's fee-only screening criteria; it does not reflect any assessment of the quality of advice, client service, or investment performance provided by Moneta, and should not be construed as an endorsement of Moneta by Financial Planning, COMPLY, or any client.

Methodology: Moneta Group Investment Advisors, LLC ("Moneta") was ranked #40 out of 60 firms nationally on Financial Planning's inaugural "Best RIAs to Work For" list, published December 11, 2025. 

This ranking was created by Financial Planning in partnership with Best Companies Group, an independent workplace-research firm that manages the registration and survey process, analyzes the data, and determines the final rankings. The ranking is based on a two-part evaluation: an employee survey covering leadership, compensation and benefits, training, communication, workplace environment, and overall satisfaction; and a separate review by Best Companies Group of each firm's policies, practices, benefit structures, and demographic profile. Combined scores from both components determine the final ranking. To be eligible, firms were required to be SEC-registered, maintain a U.S. office, have at least 10 U.S. employees, and have been in business for at least one year. This recognition reflects the opinions of Moneta's employees who completed the survey and does not reflect the experience of Moneta's advisory clients. 

Moneta paid a fee to Best Companies Group for administration of the employee survey. Moneta did not pay any fee to Financial Planning or Best Companies Group for its inclusion or selection in the ranking, or for use of the recognition afterward. 

This recognition is based solely on internal employee survey feedback and an independent workplace review; it is not based on, and does not reflect, the quality of investment advice, client service, or investment performance provided by Moneta, and should not be construed as a client testimonial or an endorsement of Moneta's advisory services.
