## What is NAICS 523940?

NAICS 523940 is the code for Portfolio Management and Investment Advice. It belongs to sector 52: Finance and Insurance. NAICS, the North American Industry Classification System, is the standard U.S. government agencies use to sort businesses by what they mainly do, and each digit narrows the category. Most of the companies counted also carry SIC 6282, Investment advisory service, in the older SIC system (79%). NAICS is a North American system, so companies outside the US, Canada and Mexico are placed in it by classification.

- The largest group is headquartered in the United States (81%). Within the US, New York is the biggest state (13%).
