# Advisor Index

> Advisor Index lists independent wealth advisors country by country, starting from the official register of each country's regulator (FINMA in Switzerland, FSMA in Belgium, MAS in Singapore, ORIAS in France) or, where the register blocks automated access, from the public advisor locators of the large networks and the registration each firm displays on its own site (Canada). No firm pays to be listed or ranked. Each local page also publishes official statistics (population, income, tax, housing), refreshed every quarter from national statistics offices and tax administrations.
