Starting Your Own RIA
Starting your own Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) firm is exciting, but it’s also complex. From compliance and business structure to marketing and tech, there are a lot of moving parts. That’s why we created this step-by-step guide (almost like a checklist) that breaks down the process into clear, manageable actions.
Inside, you’ll find high-level guidance on everything from starting an RIA with no AUM and registering your firm to building your tech stack, developing your client service model, and creating a marketing strategy that works. Each step includes the critical considerations you’ll face as a new firm owner, so you can launch with confidence and avoid costly missteps.
The roadmap also highlights how XYPN’s support ecosystem—compliance experts, tech partnerships, back-office solutions, and a thriving community of peers—fits into each stage of your journey.
