The Barnes Group

About The Barnes Group

For over 3 decades, The Barnes Group has been guiding investors through the complexities of life. Whether crafting and executing a plan to help ensure a comfortable retirement, or creating a lasting family legacy, the team has leveraged over 70 years of wealth management experience to provide bespoke solutions to wealthy families, corporations and institutions.

In 2024, Forbes Magazine recognized The Barnes Group's lead advisor, Dave Barnes, as a Maryland "Best-in-State-Advisor".

Prior to joining RBC Wealth Management in 2024, the team spent over 30 years at Merrill Lynch Wealth Management.

<p>The 2024 Forbes "Best-In-State Wealth Advisors" award was announced April 2024. Data as of 6/30/2023. The award was developed by SHOOK Research and is based on in-person, virtual and telephone due diligence meetings to evaluate each advisor based on qualitative criteria such as: best practices, client retention, industry experience, credentials, review of compliance records, firm nominations; and quantitative criteria, including assets under management and revenue generated for their firms. Investment performance is not a criterion because client objectives and risk tolerances vary, and advisors rarely have audited performance reports. Rankings are based on the opinions of SHOOK Research, LLC and not indicative of future performance or representative of any one client’s experience. Neither Forbes nor SHOOK Research receive compensation in exchange for placement on the ranking. The financial advisor does not pay a fee to be considered for or to receive this award. This award does not evaluate the quality of services provided to clients. This is not indicative of this financial advisor’s future performance. For more information: www.SHOOKresearch.com.</p>
