We are pleased to present the Monthly Report of Recently Registered RIAs - September 2025. We are continuously blown away by the large number of newly independent RIAs and investment firms from the SEC report with a total of 121.
As part of our monthly process, our data team reviewed and scrubbed this month’s raw file of 121 new filings, identifying 44 new wealth manager RIAs and 26 new investment firm RIAs. We then researched the appropriate contacts and related information before uploading everything to Dakota Marketplace.
September 2025 saw a slowdown in new SEC registrations compared to the previous month, with 44 new RIAs and 26 new investment firms launched versus 63 and 36, respectively, in August. RIA formation fell roughly 30% month-over-month, while new investment firm launches declined by about 28%, reflecting a cooling trend after August’s surge. Despite the pullback, activity remains in line with broader 2025 patterns, suggesting continued market participation even amid shifting conditions. The moderation could point to a more cautious posture among entrants heading into year-end, though steady new launches underscore the sector’s resilience and ongoing growth potential.
In this article we’re giving you ten noteworthy and newly independent RIAs that we’ve added to our marketplace.
