Registered investment advisers abide by principles of fiduciary duty that put the client first. These principles are incorporated in the Standards of Practice endorsed by IAA members.
We encourage all members to participate in our Committees, Working Groups, and Forums. They – and their associated online communities – provide powerful venues for members with shared interests to discuss common challenges and form relationships with their professional peers. Just as important, the IAA’s policies and advocacy efforts are developed in partnership with its members, working through the groups detailed on this page – and member involvement is crucial to achieving the IAA’s mission.
