- Meet regulatory requirements across various jurisdictions.
If a wealth management firm does not comply with U.S. state and federal regulations, they can be fined or lose its operating license.
Fines range depending on the type of violation committed by the firm (e.g., whether they were repeat offenders).
Fines can also be much higher if the firm holds a fiduciary responsibility over client funds or securities as part of its business activities. These penalties can reach six figures per offense.
