In 2005, following "its first redesign in nearly 11 years"[16] Barron's relaunched as a standalone product,[17] months after their first Financial Advisor conference.[18]

In September 2008, Barron's acquired the Winner's Circle Organization.[19] In September 2009, Barron's launched Penta as a new section. The section targets "pentamillionaires", individuals with at least $5 million in assets, with financial advice.[20][21]
