The Association of Registered Investment Advisers ( ARIA ) was born out of the need to support the development of the investment adviser community post the introduction of the investment advisor regulations by SEBI in 2013. ARIA was set up as a part of the inaugural RIA summit in 2017 from where a RIA Task force emerged, to enable the development of the RIA profession, and bring it to the standards of other established professions that have been in existence since multiple decades. The RIA Taskforce, over a period of meeting for two years, interacted with various stakeholders has morphed into a formal body under section 8 of the Companies Act 2013 a company limited by guarantee, in January 2019. ARIA members come from different parts of the country and are a mix of individuals, corporates and institutions and are focussed on doing what is right for the investor without conflict of interest, and high levels of disclosure.
Testimonials
I have been one of the founding members of Association of Registered Investment Advisers (ARIA) and feel honored to be a member of a group which comprises of industry veterans who have been practising fee based advisory service much before the introduction of SEBI (Investment Advisers) Regulations, 2013. ARIA imparts immense understanding on practice management of a fee based adviser. I would strongly urge all the SEBI Registered Investment Advisers to immediately apply for ARIA membership and build a strong RIA community

The time has come for the RIA community to have a strong voice and ARIA has started in the right direction. Being part of ARIA gives me instant access to like-minded practitioners and being together on a noble mission is a great feeling.

I am amazed at the quality of events conducted by ARIA. The ARIA reinvent Summit in November 2021 was power packed with lots of knowledge sessions and esteemed speakers. It's not an easy task to keep raising the bar but the ARIA management team seems to have mastered this art. Team ARIA you are doing a fabulous job.
