Special Report: The 2012 IA 25

After the difficult task of deciding who should be included on the IA 25 list, our editors are faced with the equally difficult task of cutting each honoree’s profile to fit on the pages of Investment Advisor, sacrificing more than a few valuable insights from each member. Those insights aren’t lost forever, though. Throughout the rest of April and May, we’ll be publishing extended versions of each profile, including exclusive interviews, on AdvisorOne. See the schedule below to find out when each profile will be published.

Check out last year’s IA 25 for some familiar faces. Click here to go back to the beginning and see the very first IA 25. Also see the IA 25 home page for this year’s complete coverage.

If you think we’ve overlooked someone on this year’s IA 25 who deserves to be here, please use the comments field below to submit their name and your justification for why they should be considered among the most influential people in and around the advisor universe. We promise to consider reader nominations, but please, no ad hominem attacks on those who were named in this or past years.–Ed.
