We understand your business model
With over 30 years of consistent growth, the RIA model continues to evolve and become more complex. As a result, 27% of advisor-managed assets are now managed by RIAs, up from 20% in 2011.*
Fidelity is at the forefront of understanding what each type of firm needs to continue this growth, including:
RIAs
Working with Fidelity means plugging into an ecosystem of outside specialists and solutions that can help chart your path forward for success, whether your firm could benefit from bundled offerings designed to create more efficiency and scale, or more customized solutions to meet your distinct needs.

Consider us an extension of your team and leverage our experience in servicing wealthy clients. Our dedicated team supports advisors so they can best deliver on their clients' specific goals while helping them grow.
Strategic RIA ecosystems
A growing number of clients we serve have extremely unique business models and needs as they expand well beyond financial advice, including TAMPs and aggregators. We're ready to support these models at every step of the process.
What our clients are saying
I was really impressed with the culture, the people, and everything about the firm from start to finish. It also helped that Fidelity is a private company. We felt like we would have more direct access, and perhaps less bureaucracy, than we would working with a public company.
What our clients are saying
Fidelity is always there. Whatever decision we're making within the business, they're alongside us every step of the way. They've been extremely knowledgeable about the changing landscape of the business and helping us implement new technology as well as a new service model for our clients.
