Ranking rule
The top 10, every total, share and median, the charts and the answers to the questions use one set: the 11 advisers that report private fund gross assets in their latest SEC Form ADV, with a main office in the Cleveland metro, that the filing itself ties to the row (the CRD the list cites, or the row's own website in Item 1.I), one figure per adviser. A name match with no such tie is shown in the row's detail only, never ranked or counted.
Our arithmetic
The $14.6BN, the median, shares, charts and boards are sums and medians of filed numbers over that one set; 0 firms with a figure outside it stay listed with the figure and the reason.
Pins
