Every SEC-registered RIA in Colorado, by regulatory AUM
The default sort is regulatory assets under management as each firm filed it, which puts asset managers and wealth managers on one list. The toggle for firms where individuals and high-net-worth individuals hold the majority of assets is what separates them, using the firm's own Form ADV Item 5.D figures.

Questions people ask about RIAs in Colorado
- How many RIAs are in Colorado?
- 356 RIAs registered with the SEC list a main office in Colorado in the SEC's Form ADV data as of Sep 1, 2026. That count excludes state-registered RIAs, which generally manage under $100 million and file with the state rather than the SEC, and firms whose address is suppressed on Form ADV.

- By regulatory assets under management as filed on Form ADV, the largest SEC-registered RIA headquartered in Colorado is Janus Henderson Investors in Denver, at $380.4B.
