Personal Capital Named in Financial Times Top 300 RIA List

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 18, 2015) - Personal Capital, a leader in modern money management, today announced it has been named in the Financial Times Top 300 RIAs of 2015 list. The ranking recognizes America's leading independent RIAs (Registered Investment Advisors), all of which manage $300 million or more in assets.

"It is an honor to be recognized for our virtual financial advisory, which pairs our proprietary technology platform with dedicated financial advisors to help investors gain deeper insight into their financial lives, while growing their net worth," said Bill Harris, Personal Capital CEO. "It is our mission to transform the wealth management industry by using technology to provide personalized financial advice previously only available to the ultra wealthy."

The second annual Financial Times Top 300 RIA list evaluates over 2,000 RIAs based on AUM (assets under management), AUM growth, years in existence, industry certifications held by staff, SEC compliance record, and online accessibility. This recognition builds on Personal Capital's recent momentum, including the eighteenth spot in CNBC's Top 50 Disruptors, a list of private companies whose innovations are changing the business landscape.
