How much does an investment adviser bond cost in Maine?
The Maine Department of Professional and Financial Regulation requires investment advisers to post surety bonds in the event they do not meet minimum net worth requirements. The bond amount must be equal to the net worth deficiency rounded up to the nearest $5,000.
The cost of investment adviser bonds is determined based on a review of the applicant’s credit and will be calculated as a percentage of the total bond amount. Highly qualified applicants may be approved for as little as 1% of the bond amount.
