Questions people ask about RIAs in District of Columbia
- How many RIAs are in District of Columbia?
- 60 RIAs registered with the SEC list a main office in District of Columbia in the SEC's Form ADV data as of Sep 1, 2026. That count excludes state-registered RIAs, which generally manage under $100 million and file with the state rather than the SEC, and firms whose address is suppressed on Form ADV.
- What is the largest RIA in District of Columbia?
- By regulatory assets under management as filed on Form ADV, the largest SEC-registered RIA headquartered in District of Columbia is The Carlyle Group in Washington, at $283.8B. Regulatory AUM counts all assets a firm manages, so the largest filer in a state is often an asset manager rather than a wealth manager.
- How many District of Columbia RIAs manage more than $1 billion?
- 31 of the 60 SEC-registered RIAs headquartered in District of Columbia report regulatory assets under management of $1 billion or more. The median firm in the state reports $1.1B.
- Where does this data come from?
- From the SEC's monthly Form ADV data file for SEC-registered investment advisers (ia09012026-registered.zip, data as of Sep 1, 2026). Each figure is as the firm itself reported it on Form ADV Item 5; the SEC does not verify it. Every row links to the firm's record on the SEC's Investment Adviser Public Disclosure site.
