Frequently Asked Questions

The Fiduciary & Regulatory Framework

  • An RIA is a professional registered with the Securities and Exchange Board of India to provide financial advice. Unlike agents or distributors, we are strictly regulated and held to a fiduciary standard, meaning your interests must always come first.

  • "Free" advice is usually paid for by hidden commissions from products (like Mutual Funds or Insurance). Fee-only advisors have no "quota" to meet. You pay for expertise and unbiased strategy, not a sales pitch.

  • Transparency is vital. You can verify my registration details on the SEBI official website under the 'Investment Advisers' section using my registration number: .

  • No. As a comprehensive advisor, I look at your entire financial ecosystem—including Direct Equities, Fixed Income, Insurance, Real Estate, and Tax-saving instruments.

The Process & Engagement

  • This is a 30-minute introductory session to understand your current situation, your future goals, and to see if my expertise aligns with your needs. There is no fee for this initial talk.

  • Once all data is provided, a comprehensive plan typically takes 2 to 3 weeks to draft, review, and finalize together.

  • Not necessarily. We review your current portfolio first. We only suggest changes if your existing assets are underperforming, high-cost, or unaligned with your goals.

  • As an RIA, I provide the "Advice." You can execute the trades yourself, or I can guide you through the process on your preferred platform to ensure accuracy and cost-efficiency.
