Fisher Investments is a registered investment adviser managing substantial assets under regulatory oversight, employing institutional-grade security protocols and utilizing independent third-party custodians to hold client securities and funds. While these structural safeguards protect against direct firm misappropriation, no financial investment is entirely risk-free, and client portfolios remain subject to standard market volatility, economic fluctuations, and potential financial losses inherent in equity and fixed-income markets. Prospective clients should review the firm's regulatory filings, account protections, and custodial arrangements to fully understand how their assets are managed and secured.
