Form ADV

    0.01 sec.
ADV Form
A form that all investment advisers who manage more than $25 million in assets are required to file with the SEC. The form discloses the adviser's education, fees, investment strategies, disciplinary actions (if any), and other information.

Form ADV
An SEC form for reporting information about an investment adviser, including education, business, regulatory problems, services, and fees. The form has two parts, and an investor should read both prior to employing the services of an investment adviser.

Form ADV. All investment advisory firms must register by filing a Form ADV either with the Securities and Exchange Commission if they manage $25 million or more in client assets or with the state securities regulator in the state where they principally work.

The form is divided into two sections. Part 1 provides information about past disciplinary actions, if any, against the adviser. Part 2 summarizes the adviser's background, investment strategies, services, and fees.

If an advisory firm is registered with the SEC, you can obtain copies of Form ADV at the SEC's Investment Adviser Public Disclosure (IAPD) website (www.adviserinfo.sec.gov).

Otherwise, you can request it directly from the adviser or your state securities regulator. You can find contact information on the website of the North American Securities Administrators Association (www.nasaa.org).

All financial planners who have registered as investment advisers with the Securities and Exchange Commission or state securities agencies, or who are associated with a company that is registered as an investment adviser, must be able to provide you with a disclosure form called Form ADV Part II or the state equivalent of that form.
The review should be conducted by the chief compliance officer, and should address, among other issues, the extent to which such review resulted in identifying or implementing any amendments or changes to the firm's Form ADV, written disclosure statement, advisory agreements, policies and procedures, best execution analysis, privacy and confidentiality of client information efforts, and business continuity plan.
Representatives providing active management and/ or advice should either be registered as IARs or, if they are registered as an IAR, should have an advisor agreement in place and fulfill other requirements, such as delivering their Form ADV.
