Rhode Island Investment Adviser & Securities Intelligence

The Rhode Island Department of Business Regulation Securities Division administers state securities law and registers or licenses certain investment advisers, investment adviser representatives, broker-dealers and sales representatives. State IA, federal notice filing, ERA, IAR, broker-dealer, agent and order records are separate regulatory grains.

Source-linked regulatory evidence. No adviser ranking.

Distinct firm registration lenses

The official IAPD STATE and SEC firm compilations are dated 2026-10-06; retrieved 2026-10-12T16:05:58+00:00. Counts below are firm CRDs filtered by regulator jurisdiction or SEC notice status. They are not live DBR status and are not additive.

78

State IA firm CRDs, APPROVED

79 state IA registration observations across statuses; 79 distinct firm CRDs. Approved is a registration status, not an endorsement.

1,214

Federal notice firm CRDs, FILED

IAPD notice jurisdiction RI, status FILED. This is not a state-IA registration or a Rhode Island principal office.

9

ERA firm CRDs, ACTIVE

9 ERA registration observations across statuses; 9 distinct CRDs. An ERA is not a state IA or SEC-registered RIA.

50

SEC compilation firms with RI principal office

Address geography only. A principal office is not a Rhode Island registration or permission to serve clients.

Exact firm-CRD intersections: approved state IA ∩ filed federal notice 1; state IA ∩ active ERA 0; active ERA ∩ filed notice 0; principal office ∩ filed notice 47. An intersection describes identity overlap and does not create another population.

People, broker-dealers and agents stay separate

Rhode Island identifies IARD as the filing system for investment advisers and IARs, and CRD for broker-dealers and sales representatives. Provider-level RI IAR, broker-dealer and sales-agent bulk rows were NOT_ACQUIRED. Use exact-name or CRD lookups in DBR eLicensing, IAPD and FINRA BrokerCheck. Person CRDs are not firm records.

DBR Securities Division action documents

Source clocks and limits
