RIA Intelligence is a distribution data platform built for alternative asset managers, placement agents, and capital formation professionals. It gives you structured, scored access to 13,471 SEC-registered investment advisers — the complete RIA market — in a single, searchable interface.
Unlike generic data vendors, RIA Intelligence is built specifically for the alternatives distribution workflow. Every firm is scored for its likelihood to allocate to alternative investments, segmented by client type, AUM tier, and alternatives exposure, and made instantly exportable to your CRM.
Every firm profile includes: total and discretionary AUM, alternatives allocation as a percentage of assets, full asset class breakdown (equity, fixed income, alternatives, funds, cash), client type composition (retail, HNW, institutional, UHNW), average client account size, number of employees and registered representatives, state of primary office, BD registration status, affiliated broker-dealer names, and a proprietary 0–100 Prospect Score.
All data is sourced directly from SEC Form ADV — the regulatory filing every registered investment adviser submits quarterly. There is no reliance on third-party aggregators or self-reported surveys.
Yes — the scoring formula is fully documented and transparent within the platform. Each firm receives a 0–100 BD Prospect Score calculated across six weighted dimensions: alternatives allocation percentage (primary weight), total AUM, client sophistication (HNW and institutional share), discretionary authority ratio, average account size, and firm size by registered representative count.
Every score is explainable and reproducible from the underlying SEC data. You can see exactly why a firm scored 82 versus 61 — there are no black-box outputs. This transparency is a deliberate design choice: distribution professionals need to trust the data enough to act on it, and to defend their target list internally.
The primary source is SEC Form ADV — the mandatory regulatory filing that every registered investment adviser submits to the SEC. AUM figures, asset class allocations, client type disclosures, and BD registration data all come directly from these filings, parsed from the SEC's bulk data extract.
Most RIA data providers layer third-party enrichment, self-reported surveys, or scraped website data on top of SEC information — introducing inconsistencies and vendor-specific biases. RIA Intelligence uses the SEC as the single source of truth, supplemented by live calls to the SEC's IAPD API for BD registration data at the point of inquiry. The result is data that matches what your legal and compliance teams already rely on.
The core dataset is refreshed quarterly in line with SEC Form ADV filing schedules. Each refresh captures new registrants, AUM revisions, personnel changes, office updates, and amendments — meaning the data reflects the most recent regulatory snapshot available.
The current dataset reflects a July 2026 filing snapshot. BD registration status and registered representative counts are retrieved live from the SEC IAPD at the moment you view a firm's profile, not from a cached record.
The platform provides firm-level data sourced from SEC filings — including principal office address, BD affiliations, and registered representative counts. The SEC Form ADV contains disclosure of ownership and control persons, which are accessible through the platform's firm detail view.
For direct contact data (individual email addresses and phone numbers), RIA Intelligence integrates cleanly with enrichment tools and CRM workflows. Export any filtered list to CSV and append contact data through your preferred data provider. This keeps the core dataset authoritative and the contact layer current.
The platform serves any professional who needs to understand and act on the RIA market. Primary users include alternative asset managers (private equity, private credit, hedge funds, real assets) whose distribution and IR teams need to identify and prioritize RIA prospects for fundraising. Placement agents and capital introduction desks use it to build target lists and qualify leads ahead of roadshows.
Secondary users include wealth platforms evaluating manager access programs, compliance and due diligence teams conducting regulatory research, M&A advisers assessing the RIA acquisition landscape, and fund administrators managing relationship coverage. If your work requires knowing the market — who manages what, for whom, and with how much — RIA Intelligence is the platform.
Yes. The dashboard is built for multi-dimensional screening. You can apply simultaneous filters across: state, AUM range (minimum and maximum), alternatives allocation percentage (minimum and maximum), average client size, prospect score threshold, client type, and firm type. All filters update results in real time.
Dual-range sliders on AUM, alts allocation, and average client size let you set both a floor and a ceiling — so you can target, for example, firms with $250M–$2.5B in AUM and 10–40% alternatives exposure in California, and immediately see how many match and what their combined AUM is. Filter combinations are saveable for repeated use.
Yes. Any filtered and scored view can be exported to CSV with a single click. The export format is structured for direct import into Salesforce, HubSpot, DealCloud, or any CRM that accepts CSV — no reformatting required. Fields include firm name, state, AUM, alternatives allocation, prospect score, client type, BD status, and all other visible columns.
This allows distribution teams to build a prioritized prospect list in the platform, export it with scores and segmentation intact, and push it directly into their pipeline workflow — without manual data entry or reformatting.
A free trial is available for qualified distribution professionals — you can explore the full platform before committing to a subscription. To start a trial, select "Free Trial" in the form above.
