For Advisors

An RIA home, with your practice at the center.

If you are an advisor looking for an RIA home, this is what would sit around your practice at Acrylic: the services the firm offers, the oversight it works under, and where client assets are held.

Fig. 1 What sits around your practice at Acrylic Financial, Inc. Every site is named from the firm's Form ADV Part 2A, brochure dated March 3, 2026, except the Acrylic MAC, which is the firm's sign-in.

Custodians, grid reference D5

Client accounts are held at a custodian the firm has approved, outside the firm. Acrylic does not take physical custody of client assets. The brochure dated March 3, 2026 lists Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., Interactive Brokers LLC and Mid Atlantic Clearing & Settlement Corporation. Acrylic is independently owned and operated and not affiliated with Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services. Item 12 explains the limits and the conflict of directing accounts to these custodians.

Outside managers, grid reference D2

Where it fits a client, the firm may place some or all of their assets with a third-party investment adviser, after due diligence, and keeps watching that manager. The client then generally pays both fees.

Oversight, grid reference B2

Advisory work through Acrylic is held to a fiduciary standard, under the firm's code of ethics and its chief compliance officer. Some Acrylic advisors are also registered representatives of Brooklight Place Securities, Inc., an affiliate, or licensed insurance agents, and may earn commissions in those roles. Form CRS and Form ADV Part 2A explain how.
