Learn More About Investment Advisor Bonds

Most states require investment advisors to file surety bonds as part of their professional licensing process. No matter which state you work in, you’ve come to the right place. SuretyBonds.com provides fast, easy and accurate bonding services to all investment advisor applicants.

Investment advisor surety bonds ensure that principals (investment advisors) are authorized to appoint representatives to assist them in rendering advice regarding securities. The bond guarantees that advisors report the correct names and addresses of the representatives employed and comply with the respective state's rules and regulations.

Some investment advisor license surety bond requires are reciprocal, which means if you get licensed and bonded in one state, you won't necessarily need to be licensed and bonded to work in other states. Many use the North American Securities Administrators Association's Uniform Surety Bond (U-SB) Form.
