Fidelity Shows Small RIAs the Door, and Peers Are Not Having It

What HNW clients are saying

Can you make sure my custodian situation is actually stable long-term?

I found a policy I don't remember signing up for, is that even legal?

What wealth advisors should know

  • If your firm or any referral partner sits under the $100M AUM mark on Fidelity's platform, start a custodian comparison this week rather than waiting for a notice. Ask prospective custodians directly what their minimum thresholds are and whether they have changed in the last 12 months.
  • A client who discovered a life insurance policy on themselves they never applied for is making the rounds, and it is exactly the kind of story that turns E&O concerns into Monday-morning phone calls.

Sponsor-supported

Underwritten education, editorial independence.

Carriers, custodians, and wealth-tech firms can sponsor the brief or a playbook without touching the editorial. Every sponsorship is disclosed at the card level.

Editorial firewall

Sponsors never see signals before publication. They never approve language. They never gate access. They underwrite — and that's the line.

  • Disclosed on every card and brief
  • Editorial team is structurally separate
  • Sponsor list is published quarterly
