    Started by the same industry experts who operate RIA in a Box, Lexington Compliance offers existing RIAs the ability to outsource their difficult compliance issues. From 7-day-a week email support, mock audits, advertising review and document review to full CCO outsourcing services, Lexington Compliance is a way for you to make sure you're always fully in compliance. If you are or know an existing RIA that is looking to outsource their compliance to industry experts at a lower cost than hiring their own-in house CCO, contact Lexington Compliance.

    Scottrade advisors are eligible for a free compliance hotline service giving you access to industry experts who will answer the basic day-to-day compliance and regulatory questions that come with operating a registered investment advisory firm.

    Signing up for the service is easy:

    - Download the agreement forms online. - Return them to your relationship team. - Your relationship team will contact you with more details about using the service.

    Offer: Free compliance hotline service.

    The scope of this service will include basic questions about the operation of a registered investment advisor and related compliance and registration areas. If an inquiry requires extensive research, significant review of materials or drafting of materials, then Lexington will offer its standard compliance consulting packages for a fee. If you choose to retain Lexington for compliance consulting services that are outside the scope of the hotline, you are responsible for making all required payments.
