barrons top independent advisor We are pleased to announce that for the 11th year in a row, Altair Advisers has been named by Barron’s magazine as one of the top 100 independent financial advisers. We are particularly proud of Altair’s standing as the only Chicago firm, and one of only 12 nationwide, to be included in these prestigious rankings every year since the list’s inception in 2007. Criteria for consideration include volume of assets overseen, revenue, and quality of practice.

“The Barron’s list of top independent advisers was one of the first to distinguish between firms who act as fiduciaries for their clients in providing advice instead of selling financial products,” notes Steve Weinstein, President and Chief Investment Officer of Altair. “We are honored to be included in this ranking of independent advisers and view it as one of the most significant accolades in our industry.”

Altair is an independent wealth advisory firm providing investment management, financial planning and client education services to a select group of individuals, families, foundations and endowments. Our goal is to simplify the complexities of wealth so that our clients can pursue and enjoy the opportunities it enables.


Awarded in September 2017 and is based on the previous year.
