For many years, I have been a member of the For Investors Advising Referral Network (FIDN). It is an organization that promotes investor protection and has provided valuable services to thousands of investment advisers, broker-dealers, institutional investors and other professionals. As an investment adviser, I have always strongly recommended to my new clients that they get in touch with a professional investment adviser. And I strongly believe that it is absolutely critical for investors to use investment lawyer and/or RIA compliance consultant services.Why? First of all, the services of a professional advisor are typically much more effective at providing value to clients than are the services of an unprofessional broker-dealer or stockbroker. The professional services provided by investment advisers and their advisors and other professionals come with a variety of different fees, some of which are not available to the small-dollar discount brokers. Second,https://mahadvising.com/services/for-investors/advising-referral-network/of the advice provided by professionals is normally more accurate, more timely, and more comprehensive than is the case with discount brokers. Finally, many professional advisors work in conjunction with government agencies to provide information and advice to regulatory agencies who are responsible for protecting the rights of investors and ensuring that they have adequate protection.Recently there has been renewed attention to investment adviser compliance as government watch dogs, government regulators and watchdog groups have become highly concerned about investment scams and questionable investment practices. While there are no overnight success stories, there have been consistent improvements over the past couple of decades. One such improvement is that nowadays it is far more difficult for an investment adviser, who is required to provide investment advice to his or her clients, to engage in securities fraud or investment scams.What are its Benefits?As far as I am concerned, there should be an entirely separate regulatory body for the sale of investment products and the brokering of investment products. This would free the industry from a proliferation of small "boiler room" type firms, which have largely replaced the independent investment advisors. There also needs to be additional protection given to the new independent advisors. Perhaps an Industry Council of Advisors (ICANN) could be instituted to serve this purpose. I believe that the ICANN can achieve many things for the industry, including helping the new independent agents become reputable and building up the professionalism of the advisors across the industry.In addition to these possible benefits, I believe that the regulatory changes and increased regulation should be accompanied by benefits for the consumer. Obviously, I do not believe that government regulation will necessarily reduce investment fraud or inappropriate behavior. However, I do believe that the increased regulation will make the market more efficient. The efficiency improvement would most likely result in a lower cost to the investor, thereby increasing his or her investment returns. As an example, the elimination of broker compensation could bring a reduction in advisory fees to the account of the investor.In sum, I would like to suggest that you consider the above points and think about how they would apply to your current situation. My suggestion is that if you are currently an investment adviser, you either participate in an industry organization or take the time to find a new profession that would better suit your needs. If you are not currently involved in the investment, I would recommend that you get out there and start finding some new ways to make money! You never know what the future holds in store for you!
