Uneven regulation. Here’s what I don’t understand. For years, I worked for brokerage firms on Wall Street. I was subject to licensing and ongoing education. You could do a background check on me by going to FINRA’s website. Then, I joined a Registered Investment Adviser (“RIA”) and became a “fiduciary,” I think. I did the same job, but my licenses were no longer necessary. I disappeared on FINRA’s website, because the SEC monitors RIAs. But the SEC only provides information on companies, not individuals. It became more difficult to check me out because FINRA dropped my information two years later. What’s with that?
