Oxford Financial Group, Ltd. Recognized as #1 RIA in the U.S. by Financial Planning Magazine for 2nd Consecutive Year
Indianapolis, Ind. (PRWEB) January 17, 2014 -- Financial Planning (FP) magazine released its list of Top 50 Fee-Only Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs) in the U.S. this month, and Oxford Financial Group, Ltd. topped this list at #1.
FP’s annual listing of the top RIAs tracks the top 50 firms by assets under management (AUM), and the 50 fastest-growing RIAs. Oxford ranked #1 in the first category—the ranking by AUM. This ranking did not include firms with links to banks or outside institutions and was released with an article that highlights the true meaning of ‘independence’ and the growth of these types of firms.

Oxford’s CEO, Jeffrey H. Thomasson, founded the firm in 1981 at the age of 22 with visions of making a difference in the financial services industry. After more than 30 years, his commitment to remaining an independent, fee-only firm is unwavering. Oxford has in place a detailed succession plan with an established Delaware Dynasty Trust that holds the voting shares of the company. Independent trustees protect the ownership structure from would-be buyers or sellers of the firm.
“This firm was founded on independence. We are committed to remaining privately owned and free of conflicts of interest. This dedication to objectivity is essential to serving the needs of our clients and assuring the longevity of our firm. With no affiliations with banks, investment managers, broker/dealers—our sole commitment is to serve our clients’ best interests,” said Thomasson.
As a privately held firm, Oxford is owned by its partners. Clients work with a senior partner with substantial expertise. This private ownership, coupled with its fee-only model, has meant a 99% retention rate in clients. According to Thomasson, it has also meant long-lasting relationships with families and institutions throughout the Midwest and beyond.
