How Is a SEBI Reigstered Investment Advisor Differnet From a Certified Financial Planner?

The Securities & Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is the main regulator for all investments just like Reserve Bank of India is for all banking. In the year 2013, SEBI came up with a landmark regulation that set up strong standards for advisors. This covered education, experience and certification level of the advisors.

RIAs are bound by a code of conduct and cannot be paid by the mutual funds and insurance companies. This keeps the advice unbiased and removes conflict of interest. An RIA acts only in the investor's interest based on their personal risk profile and life needs.
