This is the fifth annual FT 300 list, produced independently by the Financial Times in collaboration with Ignites Research, a subsidiary of the FT that provides business intelligence on the investment management industry.

More than 1,500 pre-screened RIA firms were invited to apply for consideration, based on their assets under management (AUM). Applicants that applied were then graded on six criteria: AUM; AUM growth rate; years in existence; advanced industry credentials of the firm’s advisors; online accessibility; and compliance records. Neither the RIA firms nor their employees pay a fee to The Financial Times in exchange for inclusion in the FT 300.

Richard Smart traveled to New York in December to accept the recognition on behalf of Annuity Strategic.  We are pleased to have been selected to such a prestigious list.

As part of our UX contingent, he will work on research, conceptualisation and interface design for digital and multiplatform products. From initial user insight to final shipping of the product.
