Utah Registered Investment Adviser Compliance
Utah is a fintech-friendly jurisdiction. FIN Group provides fractional CCO services, Form ADV filings, annual reviews, and exam support for Registered Investment Advisers operating here.
Who needs to register in Utah
Any Registered Investment Adviser with a principal place of business in Utah, or with clients located in Utah above the de minimis threshold, must register with the Utah Division of Securities or — if eligible — with the SEC.
Utah-specific nuance
Utah charges $100 for RIA registration and has a dedicated regulatory sandbox for fintech and adviser innovation.
Regulator: Utah Division of Securities
