Registered Investment advisor Vs Stockbroker


There are two main categories of professionals who can help you: the Stockbroker and the Registered Investment Advisor.


They differ in two ways,

A) their level of responsibility to you and B) how they get paid.


A stockbroker is an employee at a financial firm who is paid a commission based on what you invest. He/she is basically a sales person. The investment they sell you must be appropriate at the time of the recommendation but they have no further, on-going responsibility to you.


During the “know your client” conversations, the stockbroker learns many things about you and your financial needs, including

  • How old are you?

  • What is your investment time horizon?

  • Is your investment intended for retirement, down payment on a home,

your child’s future college expenses or something else?

  • What is your profession?

  • What is your annual salary?

Broker-dealers play an important role in the stock trading system. They provide investors and traders a point of entry into the financial markets.


As an investor, you need to do business with broker-dealers to access investment opportunities and meet your long-term investment needs.


Broker-dealers come in all shapes and sizes, so it's important for you to know how to evaluate which one is right for you. Here's what you need to know:

  • What is a broker-dealer?

  • What is a broker?

  • What is a dealer?

  • Differences between broker and dealer.

To hedge their risk, market makers must be keenly aware of market conditions and volatility, says Stephen Akin, founder and advisor at Akin Investments.


"They may deploy strategies on various types of indexes that could be closely in tune with the issues that they are trying to make the market in, as well as consideration for market volatility," he says.
