August 5, 2020 – Park Piedmont Advisors is pleased to announce it has been named to the 2020 edition of the Financial Times “300 Top Registered Investment Advisers”. The list recognizes top independent RIA firms from across the U.S. PPA was also named to the 2019 edition of the FT300.
This is the seventh annual FT 300 list, produced independently on behalf of the Financial Times by Ignites Research, a division of Money-Media, Inc. that provides business intelligence on investment management.

• AUM growth rate;
• years in existence;
• advanced industry credentials of the firm’s advisers;

• compliance records.
We are grateful to be awarded this recognition — as we are grateful for the opportunity to serve each of our clients.

Over 750 qualified firms applied for the award, 300 of which were selected (40%).
