NAPLES, Florida – April 2025 – Thomas Moran, AIF®, Chairman, CEO, and CIO of Moran Wealth Management®, has been recognized as the #2 ranked financial advisor in the state of Florida on Barron’s list of Top 1200 Advisors for 2025. 

This year is the 17th consecutive year that Moran has been recognized on Barron’s Top 1200 Financial Advisors. In September, he was named the top-ranked independent financial advisor in the state of Florida and #8 in the U.S. on Barron’s list of Top 100 Independent Advisors for 2024. Moran has also earned a place in the Barron’s Hall of Fame, a distinction given to advisors who have appeared on the Top 100 Advisors ranking for over 10 years. 

The annual rankings shine a spotlight on those whom Barron’s considers the nation’s best wealth managers. More than 7,600 advisors were evaluated in this year’s rankings, which are determined by several factors, including: the volume of assets overseen by the advisors and their teams, revenues generated for the firms, and the quality of the advisors’ practices. 

With more than 30 years of experience in the financial services industry, Moran has been recognized nationally for his industry experience, professional conduct, and business success. He has received numerous accolades from industry giants, including rankings on Forbes’ Best-In-State lists for Florida from 2020 to 2022 and recognition on the Top 250 Wealth Advisor List from 2016 to 2021. He was also listed by Financial Times among the Top 400 Advisors in 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019, which identifies those whom Financial Times considers to be the top financial advisors at broker-dealers across the U.S.
