Form ADV Item 5.D asks every registered adviser which types of clients it advises, with the number of each and the assets it manages for them; a firm appears here when it reports at least one." }, { "q": "How many financial advisory firms are there in Houston, TX?", "a": "AdvisorCensus lists 661 investment advisory firms with a principal office in the Houston metro area, from Form ADV filings as of October 2026: 303 SEC-registered, 203 state-registered, and 155 exempt reporting advisers. Firms may request removal, so the count can differ slightly from the number of firms that file Form ADV." }, { "q": "How many fee-only financial advisors are in Houston, TX?", "a": "158 of the 661 firms meet AdvisorCensus's fee-only test: paid only by a percentage of assets, hourly charges, fixed fees, or subscription fees on Form ADV Item 5.E (no commissions, performance-based fees, or other compensation), with no sales-related compensation ties in the same filing: no employee registered with a broker-dealer or licensed as an insurance agent (Item 5.B), no brokerage, insurance, real estate, or other product sales business (Item 6.A), no related broker-dealer, insurance company, real estate broker, or futures commission merchant (Item 7.A), and no referral fees from others or other sales interest (Item 8). Form ADV has no fee-only box, so this is derived from the filing; it is not a fee-only certification, and a firm's own page lists its compensation arrangements as filed." }, { "q": "How many financial advisors in Houston, TX offer financial planning?", "a": "254 of the 506 firms in Houston, TX that answer Form ADV Item 5.G, which asks what advisory services a firm provides, report financial planning services, as of October 2026. Exempt reporting advisers do not answer Item 5.G. Each firm page lists every advisory service the firm reports." }, { "q": "Are the financial advisors in Houston, TX fiduciaries?", "a": "Every firm on this page is an investment adviser that files Form ADV, and an investment adviser owes its clients a fiduciary duty under federal law, made up of a duty of care and a duty of loyalty: it must act in the client's best interest and not put its own interests ahead of the client's, and must eliminate its conflicts of interest or disclose them fully and fairly. Form ADV has no fiduciary box because the duty comes with being an investment adviser. The duty covers the firm's advice; a firm or its people may also sell securities through a broker-dealer or insurance as licensed agents, roles held to other standards. The 158 firms that meet AdvisorCensus's fee-only test report none of those sales ties." }, { "q": "How do I check whether a financial advisor has disciplinary disclosures?", "a": "Each firm page shows how many Form ADV Item 11 disciplinary questions the firm answered yes and links to the firm's record on the SEC's Investment Adviser Public Disclosure site (adviserinfo.sec.gov), where the detail of each disclosure is public. Individual advisers' records are on the same site and on FINRA BrokerCheck." }, { "q": "Does AdvisorCensus rate, verify, or recommend these firms?", "a": "No. The directory shows what each firm filed, in alphabetical order unless you choose another sort, and no firm's position depends on payment. Firms that claim their page can add a description and links, marked as provided by the firm; the filed facts are never changed by that content." }, { "q": "What does regulatory assets under management mean?", "a": "Regulatory assets under management (RAUM) is the figure a firm reports on Form ADV Item 5.F: the securities portfolios it provides continuous and regular supervisory or management services for, at market value, including assets managed without discretion. It measures scale, not performance or quality." } ], "period": "2026-10-01", "answer_paragraph": "Find financial advisors in Houston, TX who work with businesses.
