Registered Investment Advisor - RIA

What does it mean?
An advisor, registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, who manages the investments of others.

In Other Words...
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.
