RIA compliance refers to the adherence by Registered Investment Advisors to federal and state securities laws, notably the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. It encompasses establishing written supervisory policies, maintaining a rigorous code of ethics, disclosing conflicts of interest, managing custody requirements, and submitting timely regulatory filings like Form ADV. Proper compliance ensures advisory firms meet their fiduciary duties while avoiding enforcement actions and severe penalties from regulatory authorities.
