Compliance & Regulatory Documents
Regulatory documentation and compliance disclosures
Form ADV Part 2 serves as a key disclosure document for both current and potential clients of investment advisors. It’s designed to provide clear and comprehensive information, in simple English, about the firm in two distinct sections:
- Part A: This section focuses on the overall business operations of the investment advisor. It details the types of advisory services offered, the fee structure, any relevant disciplinary history, potential conflicts of interest, and the firm’s business affiliations. Essentially, it covers anything that a client might find important in understanding the advisor’s practices and background.
- Part B: This section dives deeper into the qualifications and experience of key personnel within the investment advisor firm. It provides information about the educational background, business experience, and any disciplinary history of the individuals who directly manage client accounts or provide investment advice.
It’s crucial to note that investment advisors are obligated to furnish their clients with a copy of Form ADV Part 2. This ensures transparency and empowers clients to make informed decisions regarding their investments.
Form ADV Part 3, also known as Form CRS, is a concise document designed to help you evaluate our financial services. It provides key information about the services we offer, the fees you’ll incur, potential conflicts of interest we may have, and other important disclosures.
