Is Motley Fool Wealth Management a Registered Investment Advisor registered with the SEC?
Yes, Motley Fool Wealth Management is committed to a fiduciary standard as a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) regulated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). That means it’s our legal and ethical responsibility to put your interests first. Always. This is a commitment we take seriously, and it’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the measures we take to be good stewards of the hard-earned money you’ve entrusted to our care.
RIAs like ours are required to follow specific procedures, including:
- SEC registration
- Disclosure of risk or possible conflicts of interest
- Assuming the burden of proof (if a client confronts an RIA about an investment, the RIA must prove the risk was disclosed)
- Fiduciary duty
- Financial Industry Regulation Authority (FINRA) compliance
- Documentation in compliance with SEC record-keeping regulations
