We match you with SEBI-registered, fee-only financial advisors who earn nothing from product commissions — ever. No commission conflicts. No bank sales pitches.
₹50L corpus · +₹12L/yr · 10 year horizon · 12% growth
Some of the prominent RIA partners on Foliyo. From financial planning to estate planning, to investment management or family offices — our RIA partners have decades of experience managing money for HNIs.









Under a ₹50L corpus, most people can't access unbiased advice — banks and distributors only make it "free" because they earn commission from what they sell you.
Most advisors in India earn 1–1.5% annual trail commission from the products they recommend — funded silently through your fund's expense ratio. You never see this charge, but it compounds against you every year.
Hidden CostBank RMs and mutual fund distributors operate under product-sales pressure. ULIPs, high-margin insurance plans, and regular-plan funds pay them more — so that's what they recommend, regardless of what's right for you.
Product PressureAs agents of the product manufacturer, bank RMs and distributors have zero legal obligation to act in your best financial interest. A SEBI RIA does — by law.
No Fiduciary DutyUnlike any other advisor, a SEBI Registered Investment Adviser is legally bound to act as your fiduciary — always and only in your best interest.
Prohibited by SEBI from holding an ARN (distributor code). Cannot earn trail commission from any fund house.
All advice must be based on your risk profile, goals, and financial situation — not product profitability.
Flat subscription fee paid annually. You know exactly what you pay — and exactly what you get.
Audited and inspected by SEBI. Verify any advisor's registration directly at sebi.gov.in.
Three ways to invest a sub-₹50L portfolio — and what each one actually costs you.
| Bank RM / Distributor | Do-It-Yourself | Foliyo Gold SEBI RIA | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How are they paid? | ✕Commission from product manufacturers | –No advisor — you pay nothing, get nothing | ✓Flat ₹9,999/yr fee — nothing else |
| Fiduciary duty? | ✕None. They are product sales agents | –N/A — no one is accountable but you | ✓Legally mandated by SEBI |
| Goal-based allocation? | ✕Rarely — pushed toward whatever pays more | –Only if you build and maintain it yourself | ✓Built around your goals, horizon & risk |
| Ongoing rebalancing? | ✕Not proactive — you're often on your own | –Requires your own time & market tracking | ✓Continuously monitored and rebalanced for you |
| Regulator? | ✕AMFI (self-regulatory, lighter touch) | –None | ✓SEBI — same as stock exchanges |
| Conflict of interest? | ✕Structural — higher commission = push that product | –None, but no expert check on your decisions either | ✓None — income independent of recommendations |
As investment advisers, we aim to recommend assets and funds where the risk-return trade-off favours superior returns — buying quality with a margin of safety, rather than chasing whatever is hot.
Illustrative concept only, for explanation purposes — not a chart of actual or projected fund performance, and not a promise or guarantee of returns.
Every recommendation your RIA makes is backed by two layers of continuous research — one on where markets are headed, one on which funds deserve your money.
We track economic cycles, rate cycles and market regime shifts continuously — research depth benchmarked against what large global institutions run in-house.
A proprietary algorithm ranks funds on rolling returns, risk-adjusted ratios, and up-capture / down-capture behaviour in rising and falling markets.
Fund manager interviews to understand their philosophy, process and consistency — because numbers alone don't tell the whole story.
Our expert team selects 5–6 mutual funds across asset classes, builds a strategy matched to your goals, then actively monitors and rebalances as markets evolve — so you never have to.
Everything your RIA does for you, from the first conversation onward.
Built on your income, expenses and goals — house, education, retirement.
We review your existing investments to flag what's underperforming or costing you in commissions, and advise how to restructure.
Your investment is split across equity, debt, gold, international and liquid — e.g. a ₹1L SIP as 70% equity / 20% debt / 10% gold & international — with specific funds recommended for each slice.
Our team helps you invest via Groww, Zerodha, or whichever app you prefer.
We track markets continuously and proactively rebalance — e.g. raising your equity allocation from 70% to 80% if conditions turn favourable.
A 45-minute meeting with your RIA each year to revisit goals, portfolio performance and life changes.
No lengthy onboarding, no runaround — a clear path from sign-up to a fully managed portfolio.
You sign a digital, SEBI-mandated agreement and pay the fee.
Two 30-minute calls in the first 10 days to collect your financial data — income, expenses, current investments.
A 45-minute financial planning call with your RIA — covering asset allocation, fund selection, portfolio review and tax-saving strategies.
Hands-on support through execution, then proactive monitoring going forward.
*Illustrative, for a ₹25L portfolio. Individual outcomes vary by portfolio and personal tax situation. Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks; please read all scheme-related documents carefully. Foliyo does not guarantee investment returns.
The Foliyo team has decades of experience in wealth management for HNIs and building technology products for the world — now bringing that same discipline to a fixed-fee plan.
