Three William Blair Private Wealth Management teams — 1935 Wealth Management Team, GreenBridge and The Cultra Wealth Management Group — were included in Barron’s 2026 Top 250 list published May 8.
Barron’s said the annual ranking weighs both quantitative and qualitative factors, including assets under management, revenue, regulatory record, industry experience and philanthropic work.
Ryan DeVore, William Blair’s head of Private Wealth Management, said the recognition reflects the firm’s long-term client relationships and its focus on personalized advice across generations, industries and changing client needs.
All three teams had appeared on the list in prior years, reinforcing William Blair’s continued presence in Barron’s national assessment of U.S. private wealth teams.
