From each firm's latest Form ADV (Jun 2026, Mar 2026, Jan 2026). Firms report assets once a year, so growth is their latest annual filing against the one two years before, including market gains and any acquisitions.

Firms update assets in their annual Form ADV filing, usually by the end of March.
