advisor registration under RIA
https://threadvistax.com/s/tKjo7p1j8Rf7XfIT0hFpz
When a financial advisor registers under the RIA, they're formally entering the regulated world of investment advice and asset management. It means they've passed the Series 65 or 66 exams, filed Form ADV, and now comply with fiduciary duties to clients, putting client interests first in all recommendations. This registration triggers ongoing filings, audits, and disclosure requirements, which can be daunting at first but ultimately builds trust and professionalism in client relationships.
