All registered Investment Advisers (IAs) and Research Analysts (RAs) must abide by the advertisement code, according to that circular from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

A person or a company that offers personal financial advice is known as an investment advisor (IA). In order to serve their customer’s best interests, RIAs have a fiduciary duty to provide financial guidance. RIAs are registered with the Securities and Exchange Board of India, which regulates the market.
RIAs create a financial strategy for their investors after considering their objectives, resources, and existing circumstances. Also, they bill clients for their services. The cost of the financial plan is often a flat rate and the ongoing fee for the services they do.
