Becoming an independent advisor
Wondering about making a move? We can support you when you first start exploring independence and every step along the way, to help you turn your vision and unique needs into reality. Ready to get started?
The benefits of going independent
Want more control over how you can best support your clients, or thinking about how you can better attract and retain new ones? Becoming an independent advisor may help you achieve these goals, and a lot more.
Greater flexibility
Becoming independent can help you build a practice that's directly aligned to your clients' needs. More choice in areas like investment products, technology, and the right platform (to name just a few) means you can help accelerate clients' progress toward their objectives.
More autonomy
Create a practice that gives you more leeway in making the best decisions for you and your clients. Choose the products and processes that target client needs, and build your own brand that's matched to these priorities as well as your own goals.
Potential for higher growth
Independence makes it possible to provide the emerging solutions today's investors are asking for. So no matter the business model you choose, you may see a potential for higher income and the value you can offer clients.
Explore your options for independence
If you're considering a move to independence, a variety of paths can get you there. With your goals for your business and your life as your compass, we can help you design a journey and destination that's right for you.
Start an RIA
Do you have an entrepreneurial spirit? Forming your own registered investment advisor (RIA) firm can allow you to take control of your future, keep more of what you earn, and offer more flexibility in helping clients reach their financial goals.
From the start, confidential support you can count on
Exploring your options and becoming independent doesn't mean you have to go it alone. Fidelity's team of experienced consultants—business development, practice management, technology, investments, and more—offer confidential guidance each step of the way.

Day one was super exciting. We were able to walk into the new office...and everything was up and running. Fidelity was there with us...working and getting things set up...it's like (they) know what I need before I do.*
