Lewis Asset Management is an independent Registered Investment Advisor Firm regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
So what is a Registered Investment Advisor and what does it mean to you?
A Registered Investment Advisor is a firm licensed to advise and manage clients’ investable assets. This firm is registered either with the SEC or state securities authorities. What makes such a firm unique and different from a traditional broker is that a Registered Investment Advisor is required to adhere to higher fiduciary responsibilities when advising clients, meaning they are legally bound to provide investment advice that is only in the best interest of the clients they serve.
What are the benefits of a Registered Investment Advisor’s services?
Personalized Advice
As an independent organization, we have access to a wide variety of investment options. As a Registered Investment Advisor, we can recommend tax-efficient investments that most closely align with your risk tolerance and financial goals.
Separation of Assets
As a Registered Investment Advisor, we manage the allocations of investments within your financial accounts, but a third-party custodian, such as Charles Schwab, is where your accounts are held. Simply put, when it comes to your money, the custodian holds it, we manage it, but you control it.
Transparency
We are committed to full disclosure and maintaining transparency in all we do. From investment holdings to management fees, you always have access to our disclosure documentation including our annual ADV filing with the SEC.
A Trusted Advisor
As a Registered Investment Advisor, our interests are fully aligned with yours, ensuring objective, personalized guidance. We’ve also built a network of trusted professionals—recommended not for a fee, but because we’ve personally vetted them ourselves. Whether you need a tax expert, estate attorney, or other specialist, we connect you with professionals who share our commitment to integrity.
