Understand the Difference
Stockbroker vs Registered Investment Advisor

Any type of advisor accepting commission for securities business must be licensed through a broker-dealer with the FINRA. However, there is a completely separate way to be in the securities business. It has nothing to do with the FINRA, and you do not need a broker dealer.

A Registered Investment Adviser is licensed through their state or the SEC to provide investment advice for a fee. That includes:

  • Collecting a fee for giving hourly advice (like a CPA or attorney)
  • Collecting fees for managing portfolios (e.g. 1% annually of the portfolio value)
  • Collecting fees for a financial plan that includes investment advice (Note--if the plan does not include investment advice, you don't need to be a registered investment advisor. However, your state may require a special license to give fee-based insurance or estate planning advice)

What are the trade-offs?
