I am currently researching .NET RIA Services however I am having trouble finding a definitive list of the benefits of RIA services compared to plain WCF to Silverlight, or event a list of the key components that make up RIA Services. I also find it hard to see where RIA services sits in the development model and exactly what it provides to the developer.

Many registered investment advisors (RIAs) also structure their fees as a percentage of assets under management (AUM) which directly aligns their financial interests with the client. The advisor's percentage will increase proportionately as their clients' funds grow over time.
As a Registered Investment Advisor, or RIA, the privacy of your client's information is of utmost importance. A data breach could not only cost you your reputation, but you may also be subject to steep fines and penalties if a data breach occurs.
Registered investment advisors (RIAs) manage the assets of high-net-worth individuals and institutional investors. RIAs can create portfolios with individual stocks, bonds, and mutual funds; they may use a mix of funds and individual issues or only funds to streamline asset allocation and cut down on commission costs.
Lately there has been lot of debate particularly after the Budget about the role of IFA's( Independent Financial Advisor.) SEBI for sure is amending all the rules slowly but surely infavor of RIA's(Registered Investment Advisor).
Brad Abrams has a series of posts about RIA Sevices, starting with What is .NET RIA Services?. MSDN also has an introduction.
However in summary, the proposition of RIA Services is that the framework code generates a client side layer from your server side (domain) layer. Consequently it exposes your entities client side and takes care of the networking (now using WCF).
Of course you could code this all yourself. The biggest gain with RIA Services is therefore time, providing you are happy to conform to how RIA Services does things.
I have used it for a Silverlight client and found it easy to use, with the necessity to write service layer plumbing taken care of by the framework.
