Mid-Sized Advisers: Guidance on Registration
Mid-Sized Advisers: Guidance on Registration
The Woodlands, TX (PRWEB) July 26, 2011
Advisers that are between the $ 25 million and $ 100 million asset under management threshold in the United States will have to switch to state registration. Advisers will have until March 30 of next year to register with their state and until June 28 to complete the switch. The SEC adopted these rules on June 22, 2011 related to the registration of investment advisers with the SEC. This is in response to the changes that Congress passed in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The SEC has provided a website with Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s) as promised in its main Dodd-Frank Rule. To visit the website go to: http://www.sec.gov/divisions/investment/midsizedadviserinfo.htm
All SEC-registered advisers that fall into this category will be required to file a Form ADV amendment and complete all items on the form to indicate with which regulator/state they should be registered between January 1, 2012 and March 30, 2012. However, if an adviser’s state has not adopted an investment adviser statute (ie: state of Wyoming) or does not examine registered advisers (ie: state of New York) then the adviser may stay registered with the SEC, unless the adviser can fit within an SEC registration exemption, such as the venture capital fund adviser or the private fund adviser exemptions.
