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.
