About this ranking

Earthian ranks by disclosed wealth-management and private-banking client assets / AuM (Nov 2026), aligned with widely cited industry tables—not narrow “private bank only” slices that understate US globals.

  • Figures are rounded from public filings, investor materials, and industry benchmarks (including Wikipedia-style AuM compilations). Ranges (e.g. UBS, Morgan Stanley) reflect disclosure bands.
  • US wealth leaders are ranked on **global wealth / GWIM** segments: J.P. Morgan ~$5.1T, Bank of America GWIM ~$2.18T, Wells Fargo wealth ~$1.13T—not private-bank-only lines that exclude Merrill or broader wealth.
  • Charles Schwab Wealth Management Solutions (~$827B) and Intesa Sanpaolo Private Banking (~$281B) appear where major AuM rankings include advised wealth platforms and European private banks.
  • Quality awards (e.g. Euromoney 2026) rank service and UHNW capability—not AuM size. DBS and regional winners can lead quality while J.P. Morgan and UBS lead scale.

J.P. Morgan, UBS, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America GWIM, Wells Fargo wealth, Goldman Sachs PWM, Charles Schwab wealth solutions, RBC, Citi wealth, and Julius Baer fill the top 10 by AuM in this ranking.
