Setting up your own RIA is at the discretion of each affiliate, depending upon the nature and level of services you choose to offer. The law requires that you establish your own Registered Investment Adviser entity if you choose to offer financial plans to your clients and charge for those services, or if you choose to charge by the hour for financial planning advice. Your own RIA entity will be needed if your firm wishes to offer customized managed account programs other than those offered through 1st Global's RIA. |
