RIABiz is an online journal covering the rise of the financial advice business as a legitimate force.

Our Mill Valley, California-based publication rose from the wreckage of the 2008-'09 financial meltdown and the resulting diminution of business-to-business print publications.

Rather than fighting the decline of sales-based advice and print-based publishing, our model, which leans on deeply sourced journalism, chronicles Wall Street's ongoing self-destruction and the continuing ascendance of the RIA model.

The advice industry is in the process of shifting from serving 15% of investors -- and dubiously at that -- to serving more like 85% -- and well. After nine years in business, RIABiz has discovered firsthand that readers will be loyal to a publication that chronicles the market and practitioners of client-first financial advice.
