The Financial Advisor Contract Template serves as a foundational document for establishing professional financial advisory relationships in the United States. This contract is essential when engaging a financial advisor for services such as investment management, financial planning, or wealth management. It incorporates requirements from federal regulations, including SEC and FINRA rules, while accommodating state-specific variations. The template includes comprehensive provisions for service scope, fiduciary obligations, compensation structures, and risk disclosures, making it suitable for both registered investment advisors (RIAs) and other financial professionals. The document's flexibility allows customization based on specific service offerings while maintaining compliance with applicable regulations and professional standards.
