Investment Advisor Surety Bond

Annual premium is determined based on owner personal credit. Owners with strong credit are typically approved between 1% to 3% of the bond amount.

If the owner has bad credit, or significant past due items on their credit report, annual premium typically ranges between 5% to 15% of the bond amount. For most states, we're able to keep our high risk programs below 7.5%.

While closely related to Financial Advisor Bonds, Blue Sky Bonds are required more specifically to regulate the sale of securities governed by Blue Sky Laws. These bonds guarantee that security dealers do not sell fradulent securities.

Unfortunately, no. Each bond is filed with a specific state, and issued on their specific bond form. To ensure compliance, you'll need to check with each state that you plan on conducting business in to see if they have a bond requirement as part of the license application.
