25design GuidelinesVersion 1.009.30.11legal guidelinesWhen creating materials, pleasereference the following guidelines.1) A s with all advertising, advisors should consult with their compliance departments to ensure all use of the logois consistent with industry rules and guidance.2) I f using the campaign logo, advisors should not use the acronym RIA directly after their name, or in any othermanner that might make it appear the acronym is a designation.3) K eep in mind that Section 208(a) of the Investment Advisers Act cautions advisors not to use “RIA” in amanner that would mislead an investor to believe that registered status is an endorsement by the government.Various states may have similar provisions. Depending on the context of how and where you use the logo, werecommend that you consider using the following additional explanatory and educational message:“RIA” means we are registered with [the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission] or [the state of.] The government does not approve advisors or their qualifications.Alternative:“RIA” means we are registered with [the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission] or [the state of.] Registration does not mean a government agency approves an advisor or reviews theirqualifications. 2011 Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
