Interesting interview. My question applies only to a US RIA (not a broker/dealer) structure. If there is a Canadian resident that wishes to establish an advisory relationship with a US RIA firm, or wishes to move assets to the US and have the US RIA firm oversee them, is a there a Canadian regulatory requirement of the RIA to register/have physical presence in Canada? I would assume this is the case if they are Canadian accounts (maybe not?), but for US accounts I would assume not…regardless of the citizenship.
