A firm is included when its principal office is in the state and most of its client assets belong to individuals and its type is RIA, which leaves out broker-dealers, wirehouses, RIA networks, digital advice, bank, insurance and family-office firms. A firm with only a branch office here is listed in its own headquarters state.
