What is an RIA?

A Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) is a fiduciary who has a duty of undivided loyalty to its clients and must deal fairly and honestly with them. Any person or entity that holds itself out as a financial planner must be registered.  A Registered Investment Advisor is a representative of the client. This registration doesn’t mean that the person is recommended by the SEC, it simply means that they are regulated by the SEC.

In general, an RIA with more than $25 million under management must register with the SEC. RIAs managing less than $25 million are registered at the state level.
