Thacker Wealth and Retirement, based in Owensboro, has been named to Forbes’ 2026 list of Best-in-State Wealth Management Teams.
Firm owner and financial advisor Tracy Thacker and financial advisor Dathan Deisher were among Raymond James-affiliated teams recognized in the ranking.
The Forbes list recognizes wealth management teams from national, regional, and independent firms across the country. Rankings are developed by SHOOK Research and are based on a combination of qualitative and quantitative criteria, including in-depth interviews and data analysis covering the period from March 31, 2024, to March 31, 2025.
To be considered, teams must include at least five members, have at least one advisor with a minimum of seven years of experience, have been established as a team for at least one year, and be nominated by their firm. The evaluation weighs factors such as revenue trends, assets under management, compliance records, industry experience, and overall best practices in client service. Portfolio performance is not considered due to varying client objectives and the lack of audited data.
