The Series 65 Ria license qualifies individuals to act as investment advisor representatives, providing financial advice. The Series 66 Ria license combines the Series 63 and 65, allowing advisors to also engage in securities transactions. While both licenses enable financial advising, the Series 66 is often preferred for those involved in both advising and brokerage activities. Understanding these differences helps advisors choose the right licensing path for their career and client service needs.

At Larson Capital Management LLC we are seek a Director of Business Development — RIA Distribution to join as LCM’s primary external-facing capital formation hire, responsible for building and owning the firm’s RIA distribution channel from the ground up. This is a high-impact, commercially driven role tasked with prospecting, cultivating, and closing relationships with independent registered investment advisors (RIAs) across the country, with the goal of establishing LCM’s private real estate offerings as a core alternative allocation for RIA clients.
The ideal candidate brings an existing network of RIA relationships they can activate quickly, a deep understanding of how independent advisors evaluate and allocate to alternative investments, and a proven track record of raising capital in a competitive external distribution environment. This is not a relationship maintenance role — it is a channel-building mandate that requires genuine hunter instincts, commercial accountability, and the ability to represent LCM’s investment platform credibly to sophisticated allocators.
Responsibilities:
RIA Channel Development
Product Communication & Education
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Skills & Abilities
Why This Role Matters
RIA distribution is LCM’s primary growth engine for new capital formation. Independent RIAs represent one of the fastest-growing pools of allocatable capital in the alternative investment space, and LCM’s private real estate platform is well-positioned to serve that market. The Director of Business Development — RIA Distribution is the person who opens that channel — building the relationships, establishing the pipeline, and converting advisor interest into committed capital. This is a foundational hire for LCM’s next phase of growth.
