Browse 3 verified fee-only fiduciary financial advisors in Massachusetts. All advisors have earned the Orange Check badge.
Massachusetts has among the strongest investor-protection rules in the country — the state's securities regulator, the Secretary of the Commonwealth Securities Division, has historically pursued a stricter fiduciary standard for brokers than the SEC has at the federal level. Every advisor verified by Fiduciary Check in Massachusetts is a fee-only Registered Investment Adviser confirmed against SEC IAPD and FINRA records.
Massachusetts's Securities Division is part of the Secretary of the Commonwealth's office and is one of the most active state securities regulators in the country. The division has pursued enforcement actions against broker-dealers and investment advisers for conflicts of interest and has adopted a broader definition of fiduciary duty for broker-dealers than the SEC's Reg BI framework.
For investors in Massachusetts, this means the baseline standard for broker recommendations is already higher than in most states. Still, the fiduciary standard for RIAs — which applies continuously, not just at the moment of a sale — provides stronger protection. Fee-only RIAs in Massachusetts cannot accept commissions, trails, or revenue-sharing, which eliminates the primary structural conflicts that even a stricter broker standard still permits.
