Questions people ask about RIAs in New York

How many RIAs are in New York?
2,581 RIAs registered with the SEC list a main office in New York 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.
