I am feeling happy today and I want to share the reason with you. I just received my certificate of becoming a ‘Registered Investment Adviser‘ from Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
It had been a work in progress for long. Finally, it’s here. It allows me to practice as an Investment Adviser or Financial Planner.
If you are wondering as to what’s so special about having a SEBI registration, FYI, without a registration, SEBI does not allow anyone to represent himself/herself as a financial planner, advisor, investment advisor or any with other name and offering any such services.
Actually SEBI brought out SEBI ‘Investment Advisers’ Regulations 2013, under which this registration is mandatory for anyone who wants to practice as one of the afore mentioned titles.
Let me take you through a quick journey of how does one get registered as an Investment Adviser with SEBI.
