What is a Registered Investment Advisor?

A Registered Investment Advisor ("RIA") subject to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 is a Fiduciary. (1) A Fiduciary is bound by law to place the interests of its beneficiary FIRST - before the fiduciary's own interests. A Non-Fiduciary stockbroker (also called a Registered Representative, Account Executive, or Financial Advisor) follows only the "suitability" standard, which does not require a stockbroker to place the interest of its clients ahead of its own. A Fiduciary RIA must follow the "trust" standard - the highest known in law - which requires it to place the interests of its clients ahead of its own and fulfill critical fiduciary duties of trust and confidence. Under the fiduciary trust standard, a Registered Investment Advisor must provide its "best advice" to a client.

Note: (1) In Supreme Case "SEC v. Capital Gains Research Bureau, Inc. - 375 US 180 (1963), the court justice rules that RIA is recognized as a fiduciary.
