Virginia Investment Advisors Surety Bond is a type of surety bond required by the Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC) in order to protect the interests of investors. The bond provides assurance that the investment advisor will conduct its business according to the applicable Virginia laws and regulations. The bond serves as a guarantee to the investors that their investments will be managed in a professional and honest manner. There are two types of Virginia Investment Advisors Surety Bond: the Investment Advisor Bond and the Investment Advisor Representative Bond. The Investment Advisor Bond is required for financial advisors that are registered with the SCC. It ensures that customers receive the services promised and that the advisor will comply with Virginia laws and regulations. The Investment Advisor Representative Bond, on the other hand, is required for representatives of registered advisors. It guarantees that the representative will provide services in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
