A marketing brand is the name a financial advisor uses with clients. It is often different from the SEC-registered firm that is legally responsible for their conduct and your money.
When you search for “The Lion Group LLC,” you won't find it on the SEC or FINRA websites. That's because the regulatory entity is CAMBRIDGE INVESTMENT RESEARCH ADVISORS, INC.. Any disclosures, complaints, or regulatory actions are filed under the firm — not the brand.
