What is RIA in finance? It's a registered expert shaping portfolios amid shifting macro indicators. The latest PMI reading at 54 signals economic expansion, guiding RIAs toward cyclical consumer and manufacturing stocks. The partnership builds on APIs of both companies and the Monark Alts Marketplace and the Apex AscendOS clearing, custody and trading platform. The firms expect to make shares available beginning later this quarter. "The philosophy begins with the team," Wealthstream wrote in its application for FP's ranking. "If the team is happy, they will do a great job keeping clients happy." In financial terms, RIA stands for Registered Investment Advisor. As US corporate earnings beat estimates in 72% of reports this week, RIAs are tilting toward sectors with stronger forward P/E discounts.
