Every SEC-registered RIA in Connecticut, 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 Connecticut
- How many RIAs are in Connecticut?
- 506 RIAs registered with the SEC list a main office in Connecticut 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.
- What is the largest RIA in Connecticut?
- By regulatory assets under management as filed on Form ADV, the largest SEC-registered RIA headquartered in Connecticut is AQR Capital Management, LLC in Greenwich, at $311.7B. Regulatory AUM counts all assets a firm manages, so the largest filer in a state is often an asset manager rather than a wealth manager.

- 227 of the 506 SEC-registered RIAs headquartered in Connecticut report regulatory assets under management of $1 billion or more. The median firm in the state reports $749.3M.
