What protections do I have as a client of a Cetera-affiliated financial professional?
Cetera-affiliated financial professionals are licensed professionals who are required to sit for an examination, take ongoing continuing education courses, and have background and fingerprint checks. They are registered in any states where they do business and are subject to credit checks and regular auditing to ensure they are compliant. Our financial professionals also must attend annual compliance trainings so they are up to date on regulatory matters. All firms are members of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), which provide greater oversight.
