Series 65 Ria information
How to make money with series 65?
What is a Series 65 RIA?
What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Series 65 Registered Investment Adviser (RIA), and why are they important?
What is the difference between Series 65 Ria vs Series 66 Ria?
| Aspect | Series 65 Ria | Series 66 Ria |
|---|---|---|
| Required Credentials | Series 65 license | Series 66 license (often combined with Series 7) |
| Work Environment | Advisors providing investment advice and financial planning | Advisors offering investment advice and securities transactions |
| Employer & Industry Usage | Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs), independent advisors | Hybrid firms, broker-dealer affiliated RIAs |
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.

Job description
Vestmark is building the future of wealth management technology. We are a leading provider of wealth management solutions and services that enable financial advisors and institutions to efficiently manage and trade their clients' portfolios using a purpose-built SaaS ecosystem. With over $2 trillion in assets and 5+ million accounts, we are a trusted partner to some of the largest and most respected players across the wealth management industry.Â
We are seeking a Business Development Representative to join our growing Sales team and help drive awareness and adoption of Vestmark's industry-leading, daily tax-optimized UMA platform and sub-advisory services within the RIA channel. This is an ideal opportunity for a driven, client-facing professional with an internal or hybrid wholesaling background who is eager to take the next step in their career at a high-growth fintech company.Â
In this role, you will work closely with our Asset Manager partners to identify, engage, and qualify new opportunities within the RIA and independent wealth management landscape. You will bring your wholesaling instincts - high call volume, consultative engagement, and channel fluency - to a role that sits at the intersection of financial technology and distribution.Â
Job ResponsibilitiesÂ
- Proactively engage RIA prospects and distribution contacts through outbound phone, email, and virtual outreach to introduce Vestmark's platform solutions and generate qualified opportunities.Â
- Support senior Business Development professionals by managing a defined territory or prospect list, scheduling meetings, and preparing materials for advisor-facing conversations and partner firm introductionsÂ
- Build and maintain relationships with RIA home office contacts, field distribution representatives, and independent advisors through consistent, value-driven touchpointsÂ
- Leverage Vestmark's thought leadership, market insights, and platform capabilities to educate prospective clients on industry trends, tax-managed investing, and the operational advantages of a unified managed account (UMA) approachÂ
- Maintain an active and accurate pipeline in Salesforce, logging all outreach activity, tracking engagement, and surfacing opportunitiesÂ
- Coordinate and participate in virtual and in-person meetings, regional events, and webinars to support partner engagement and Vestmark brand visibility within the RIA channelÂ
- Partner cross-functionally with Marketing to stay current on messaging, collateral, and campaign initiatives, ensuring outreach is timely and aligned with go-to-market prioritiesÂ
- Act as a feedback loop internally, sharing prospect objections, competitive intelligence, and market trends with Product, Marketing, and Sales leadership to inform strategyÂ
Required Qualifications, Capabilities, and SkillsÂ
- Bachelor's degree required or relevant experienceÂ
- 3-5 years of experience in financial services in a client-facing, distribution, or sales support role - including internal wholesaling, hybrid wholesaling, or sales desk experience at an asset management firm, TAMP, or wealth management platformÂ
- Demonstrated familiarity with the RIA channel, including how independent advisors evaluate and adopt managed account platforms and investment solutionsÂ
- Strong verbal and written communication skills with the ability to engage advisors and home office contacts credibly and confidentlyÂ
- A proactive, phone-first mentality - comfortable making high-volume outbound calls and conducting virtual meetings with a polished, consultative approachÂ
- Proficiency with CRM systems (Salesforce preferred) to manage pipeline, log activities, and track follow-throughÂ
- Collaborative by nature, with the ability to work effectively within a matrixed, cross-functional team environmentÂ
- Organized, detail-oriented, and capable of managing a high volume of outreach across multiple prospect relationships simultaneouslyÂ
Preferred Qualifications, Capabilities, and SkillsÂ
- 2-4 years of experience as an internal or hybrid wholesaler at an asset manager, TAMP, or fintech firm with exposure to the RIA or independent advisor channelÂ
- Familiarity with UMA, SMA, or separately managed account structures and how they are utilized within advisory platformsÂ
- Experience supporting or working alongside external wholesalers or regional vice presidents in a territory-based coverage modelÂ
- Series 65 license (or willingness to obtain)Â
- Working knowledge of wealth management technology platforms, portfolio management tools, or fintech solutionsÂ
- Established or developing network within the RIA or wealth management distribution communityÂ
