On July 21, 2025, Marla Petti ranked 92 out of 100 on the Barron’s Top 100 Women Financial Advisors ranking. Information provided was based on data as of 3/31/25.
Advisors must pass a prequalification process to confirm their experience and sophistication, and then, those who meet the criteria, complete a survey of more than 100 questions about their practice. For this year’s Top 100 Women Advisors ranking, 1,094 advisors submitted data. That data is verified by the advisors’ firms and by Barron’s through regulatory databases and is then applied to a formula that features assets, revenue, and quality of practice.
MAI does not pay a fee to be considered for an award or to participate in rankings.
Third-party rankings and recognitions are no guarantee of future investment success and do not ensure that a client or prospective client will experience a higher level of performance results. These rankings should not be construed as an endorsement of the advisor by any client nor are they representative of any one client’s evaluation. There is no guarantee of continued success.
