Every SEC-registered RIA in Rhode Island, by regulatory AUM

The default sort is regulatory assets under management as each firm filed it, which puts asset managers and wealth managers on one list. The toggle for firms where individuals and high-net-worth individuals hold the majority of assets is what separates them, using the firm's own Form ADV Item 5.D figures.

Questions people ask about RIAs in Rhode Island

How many RIAs are in Rhode Island?
51 RIAs registered with the SEC list a main office in Rhode Island 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 Rhode Island?
By regulatory assets under management as filed on Form ADV, the largest SEC-registered RIA headquartered in Rhode Island is Fiam LLC in Smithfield, at $347.7B. 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.

From the SEC's monthly Form ADV data file for SEC-registered investment advisers (ia09012026-registered.zip, data as of Sep 1, 2026).
