Brock Kidd, a founding partner and managing director for Pinnacle Asset Management and private wealth manager with Raymond James Financial Services, Inc., is among the top five financial advisors in Tennessee according to Barron’s list of the 2024 Top 1200 U. S. Financial Advisors Ranked by State (barrons.com).* It’s the third consecutive year Kidd has appeared on the list, moving up several spots from No. 11 on last year’s Tennessee list.

I am incredibly proud of the commitment to the individual level of service we have built at Pinnacle Asset Management and the resulting trust our clients place in us.”

Barron’s, a financial outlet published by Dow Jones & Co., produced the listing of distinguished advisors after weighing criteria, such as assets under management, revenue produced for the firm, regulatory records, quality of practice and philanthropic work.

Kidd is one of just 18 private wealth advisors in Tennessee and eight in Nashville to make this list. With more than 30 years of experience, he is the number one financial consultant in the Raymond James Financial Institutions Division.
