Evaluating & verifying
| Factor | SEBI-Registered Investment Adviser (RIA) | Mutual Fund Distributor | How Leadzo Helps |
|---|---|---|---|
| Regulatory body | Registered with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) under the SEBI (Investment Advisers) Regulations, 2013. | Registered with AMFI (Association of Mutual Funds in India) under the applicable mutual fund distribution framework. | Connects you with verified RIAs and distributors so you can compare the right options for your needs. |
| Registration / identification | Has a SEBI registration number that can be verified through SEBI's resources. | The distributing entity has an ARN (AMFI Registration Number). Individuals assisting with transactions may have an EUIN (Employee Unique Identification Number). | Professionals on Leadzo share their registration details up front, so you can review them before you connect. |
| Primary role | Provides investment advice based on the buyer's financial situation, investment experience, objectives and other relevant factors. | Distributes mutual fund products and may provide guidance incidental to the products being distributed. | Helps you find the right type of professional for your specific goal - whether you need advisory services or help with mutual fund investments. |
| Buyer considerations | Investment advisers are required to act honestly and fairly, consider relevant buyer information, make required disclosures and manage conflicts of interest. | Distributors operate under AMFI's Code of Conduct for Mutual Fund Distributors and the applicable distribution framework. | You can read professional profiles, compare approaches and choose someone whose experience and communication style match your comfort level. |
| Compensation | Operates under a fee-based advisory framework, with fees agreed between the adviser and buyer. | Receives compensation through the distribution arrangements applicable to the mutual fund products they distribute. | You can discuss and compare fee structures or commission-based models with multiple professionals before you decide. |
| What to verify | Check the adviser's SEBI registration before engaging them. | Check the distributor's ARN/EUIN, where applicable, through the relevant AMFI resources. | Leadzo makes it easy to request and verify these details as part of your conversation with the professional. |
Every professional on Leadzo verifies their phone number via OTP before they can respond to any requirement - so you're speaking with a real, reachable person. Professionals also see your requirement details before deciding to respond.
Before hiring, ask the professional for their SEBI registration number if they are an RIA, or their ARN/EUIN details where applicable, and verify the information through the relevant SEBI or AMFI resources.
Leadzo is a marketplace that connects you with independent financial advisors - it does not itself provide financial advice, and matching you with a professional is not a guarantee of any investment outcome or of that professional's registration status beyond the phone verification described above.
Are you a SEBI-Registered Investment Adviser, or a mutual fund distributor - and can you share your registration number (SEBI registration or ARN)?
How are you compensated: a flat fee, an hourly rate, a percentage of assets, or commission on products sold?
Do you specialize in a particular area, or offer general planning?
Can you share how you'd approach a goal similar to mine?
Services
Building and managing a portfolio aligned to your goals and risk tolerance. If you know you specifically want investment or portfolio management rather than broader planning, see Investment Advisors in Bangalore for professionals focused specifically on that.
Estimating what you'll need, and building a savings and investment plan to get there - accounting for inflation, life stage, and existing savings.
Structuring investments and income to legally minimize tax liability under current Indian tax law - particularly relevant if you have multiple income sources or equity compensation.
Assessing whether your life, health, and asset coverage actually matches your financial situation - a distinct discipline from investment planning, often overlooked.
Which one do I need?
| What You're Looking For | Financial Advisor | Investment Advisor |
|---|---|---|
| Overall financial planning | Broader financial planning | Primarily investment-focused |
| Investment planning | May be part of broader financial planning | Core focus |
| Portfolio advice and review | May be included | Core focus |
| Retirement planning | May be included | May be included where relevant |
| Tax considerations | May be considered as part of financial planning | May be considered where relevant |
| Insurance and risk planning | May be included | Not typically the primary focus |
| Goal-based planning | Broad financial goals | Investment-related goals |
| Best suited for | People looking at their overall financial situation | People primarily seeking investment advice or portfolio-related help |
Which one should you choose?
A financial advisor may be suitable if you need broader financial planning across areas such as investments, retirement, tax and insurance. An investment advisor may be more appropriate when your primary requirement is investment advice or portfolio-related planning.
For working professionals
Financial planning needs vary by career stage, income structure, and life stage. A few considerations come up often for working professionals:
Income and investment planning - building a savings and investment plan aligned to your income and goals
Retirement planning - starting early and adjusting as income and goals change
Tax planning - structuring income and investments efficiently under current Indian tax law
Equity compensation, where applicable - ESOPs and RSUs are taxed differently from salary, relevant if your compensation includes them
Insurance and risk planning - making sure coverage matches your current situation
Goal-based financial planning - creating a financial plan around major goals such as buying a home, funding education or building long-term wealth
NRI and cross-border planning - if you're an NRI or have income, assets, or family across two countries, mention this upfront - not every advisor works with NRE/NRO accounts, DTAA rules, or repatriation, so it's worth confirming this experience before you hire
Not every consideration applies to every professional - the right starting point is discussing your specific situation with an advisor directly.

What customers say
Posted my requirement for retirement planning on a Sunday evening and had two responses by Monday morning, both from advisors who'd actually looked at what I needed. Went with someone in Indiranagar who explained his fee structure clearly before we even got on a call.
Priya N
Koramangala, Bangalore
Wanted help understanding ESOP taxation before a liquidity event and wasn't sure who to even ask. Got matched with a SEBI-registered adviser who walked me through it properly instead of just pitching mutual funds.
Arjun R
Whitefield, Bangalore
Compared three advisors side by side before picking one - first time I didn't feel rushed into a decision. The one I hired actually asked about my risk tolerance before suggesting anything.
Sneha K
HSR Layout, Bangalore
Needed to review our family's insurance coverage after a health scare. The advisor we found through Leadzo pointed out a gap in our policy that our previous agent had never mentioned.
