## FAQ

### How many registered investment advisers are on the list?

15,132 SEC-registered adviser firms as of Oct 29, 2026. Ken refreshes the list from the SEC's monthly Form ADV data.

### Is it really free?

Yes, with limits. Opening the list and adding it to a campaign costs nothing on any Ken plan. On a paid plan, the verified emails and phone numbers Ken already has for these companies cost no credits either. New work costs credits as usual: 1 credit ($0.02) for each valid email Ken finds, plus AI qualification, personalization and other workflow steps. On the Free plan you can add the companies within its contact limit, but the emails Ken already has for them need a paid plan.

### Does it include state-registered advisers and brokers?

No. It covers firms registered with the SEC. Smaller advisers registered only with a state, and broker-dealers and their reps, are not on it.

### Can I download the RIA list as a CSV?

No. You use library lists inside Ken: add the list to a campaign or a workflow, narrow it by country, seniority, title or company size, and Ken sends from there. Library contacts can't be downloaded as a CSV, exported in bulk through the API or pushed to a CRM in bulk.
