Mason Investment Advisory Services Ranked #24 in Barron's 2026 Top 100
Mason Investment Advisory Services has earned the distinguished recognition of being ranked #24 nationally in Barron's 2026 Top 100 Institutional Consulting Teams, moving up one position from last year. This achievement is not just a milestone for the firm but also a testament to its persistent dedication to providing disciplined and long-term investment counsel.
According to Barron's, the rankings are determined by a variety of factors, including assets under management, overall revenue, and the quality of the consulting practice. Within the competitive landscape of institutional advisory services in the U.S., making it to the top 25 is an exclusive honor, reserved for a very small percentage of firms. The ranking was officially announced on May 8, 2026, based on performance metrics from the year concluding December 31, 2025.
Chris Schreiner, Co-CEO of Mason Investment Advisory Services, emphasized that this ranking is a reflection of the collective effort of the entire team and the confidence that clients place in them. “We don’t measure ourselves by lists,” Schreiner stated, “but we are proud that our internal progress is being acknowledged publicly. Our aim is to be a steady and thoughtful partner to the institutions we serve. This principle is something we take very seriously.”
Mason's rise in the rankings is closely tied to its foundational values. The firm has long operated on the belief that institutions deserve investment guidance steeped in thorough analysis, transparent communication, and a relentless focus on long-term goals. This commitment has shaped Mason's relationships with its clients for years.
Scott George, another Co-CEO at Mason, noted, “Rankings come and go, but our responsibility to our clients remains unchanged. The daily work we put into research, maintaining discipline, and engaging in meaningful discussions is what builds enduring relationships. While the Barron's recognition is significant, it is simply a byproduct of our ongoing dedication, not the end goal.”
The firm caters to a select clientele, including endowments, community foundations, and retirement plans, supporting them with independent investment consulting that prioritizes long-term results.
“Seventeen years ago, I joined this firm believing that institutional clients needed the same level of rigor and personal engagement that individuals expect from a reliable advisor,” said Allie Gormier, President of the Institutional Division. “That principle has not wavered. What has evolved is the scope of the institutions we serve and the depth of those relationships. This ranking is a reflection of that ongoing consistency.”
