Four Benefits of Working with a Registered Investment Advisor

International Assets Advisory operates from Orlando, Florida, with a focus on serving clients nationwide through a complementary approach that focuses on financial markets. International Assets Advisory provides investment advisory services through its affiliated Registered Investment Advisors (RIA) International Assets Investment Management, LLC. Working with an RIA yields a number of benefits, including:

1. Fiduciary obligation to the client’s best interest. The Investment Advisers Act of 1940 holds RIAs to fiduciary care standards and requires RIA’s to provide investment advice that is in the best interest of the client. Under the act, RIAs must abide by a written code of ethics, operate under a standard of full and fair disclosure, and inform clients of any conflict of interest that may arise. 

2. Ability to advise on complex financial needs. RIAs may possess a wealth of financial knowledge that ranges from sophisticated investment strategies and trusts to family business management and intergenerational planning. This knowledge may enables them to address complex financial situations. 

3. Independent guidance. In some circumstances, RIAs operate without solid ties to a particular company or product. This independence would allow them to provide unbiased advice and personalized services.

4. Public records. The SEC requires RIAs to submit a Form ADV that details their business practices and means of compensation which is made public. Prospective clients can request these forms by law, enabling them to review the practices and history of an RIA before working with them. Information concerning the Form ADV can be found at https://www.investor.gov/.
