The quality of practice component includes an evaluation of each advisor’s regulatory record. For the Top 100 Independent Financial Advisors and the Top 100 Financial Advisors rankings, the scoring system assigns a top score of 100 and rates the rest of the advisors by comparing them with the winner.
