Participating independent investment advisor firms
We work with a range of independent investment advisor firms, each positioned to meet very specific client needs. As a complement to our own offering, we work to provide access to a wide range of firms with a national presence, as well as smaller local firms if you'd prefer to work with someone closer to you. While some offer a robust menu of in-house capabilities, others provide more specialized services. The firms in our program may manage anywhere from $1 billion to over $30 billion in assets.
Existing Fidelity Institutional® independent investment advisor firms are sourced based on the complementary services they may offer to clients.
Fidelity reviews each firm to determine which meets the necessary criteria to participate in the Wealth Advisor Solutions referral program.
Once a new firm is accepted into the program, they're able to receive referrals.
Please keep in mind: An independent investment advisor firm's acceptance to participate in Wealth Advisor Solutions does not serve as a recommendation. Further, Fidelity does not vet, monitor, or endorse investment performance of participating firms.
