Yes, we are a SEBI Registered Investment Adviser (RIA), Registration Number: INA100016327. Only SEBI registered RIAs are allowed to mention themselves as Investment Advisers. We have been allotted the license after meeting SEBI’s numerous guidelines on qualifications & experience in order to provide you with the right financial advice.

No, wealth advisor and investment advisor aren’t the same. Investment advisors are registered with SEBI, which ensures that Invested Advisors are regulated, have ethical and fiduciary duties. 

Registered IAs also have certain minimum qualification and experience, which ensures that they can do their job with efficiency and effectiveness.

A SEBI registered financial adviser’s advice is valuable as it is individually curated, after a proper risk and goal assessment of each & every client. 

Investment Advisors work on Fee-ONLY basis whereas brokers or distributors may be enticed to push clients into instruments that fetches them highest commissions/brokerage.
