    Top Financial Advisors in California 2026
    Mark Hebner

    Date rating given: March 24, 2026

    Mark Hebner was recognized by Barron’s as one of the Top Financial Advisors for 2026. The date of this recognition is March 23, 2026. The rankings are based on data provided by around 7,000 of the nation's most productive advisors. The ranking criteria include a combination of both quantitative and qualitative factors: assets under management, revenue produced for the firm, regulatory record, quality of practice, and philanthropic work. Investment performance isn't an explicit component because not all advisors have audited results and because performance figures often are influenced more by clients' risk tolerance than by an advisor's investment-picking abilities.
