At RIA Systems, we've noticed some confusion around the different types of financial professionals. It's an important distinction, and one key category includes financial professionals registered with a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA).

An RIA is a firm that's registered with either the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or a specific state's regulatory body. A crucial aspect of working with a financial professional under an RIA is that they are held to a fiduciary standard. This means they are legally obligated to act in your best interest. Additionally, they must be transparent about all fees charged and clearly disclose any potential conflicts of interest.

Understanding the role of an RIA and its financial professionals is the first step toward making a more informed decision when choosing your financial partner.
