RIA Advisory Group is a multi-advisor registered investment adviser serving individuals, high-net-worth clients, corporations, trusts, and other entities. It provides ongoing discretionary portfolio management across a broad set of investments (mutual funds, equities, bonds, ETFs, REITs, private placements, annuities) and offers limited financial planning services incorporated into advisory contracts rather than standalone fee-based plans.

The firm establishes client-specific Investment Objective Confirmations to define goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon, and typically operates under discretionary authority to implement strategies. Its investment process draws on charting, fundamental, and technical analysis and employs both long- and short-term trading approaches, with periodic account reviews and custodial relationships primarily at major custodians.

Notable distinctions include multiple professionals within the firm who also maintain CPA or legal practices and a number of representatives who are licensed insurance agents, with the brochure disclosing these potential conflicts and the option for clients to decline related services. The firm also engages an advisor-owned research affiliate that is paid by the firm (fees not passed to clients) and operates a larger multi-office footprint than is typical for similar team firms, managing over half a billion dollars for nearly 2,000 client relationships.
