New Adviser Setup

How We Help with Your New Adviser Setup

We will walk you through the entire SEC compliance registration process. This could include: 

  1. Ensuring you are accurately registered and in compliance with all applicable agencies, 

  2. Speaking with regulators on your behalf, 

  3. Providing education around the adviser compliance rules specific to your business model, and 

  4. Custom-developing practical, fully compliant policies and procedures 

All of which will make your compliance program simple from the beginning.

We understand that each adviser is unique, and we take the time to listen to your individual situation to make sure we apply the compliance requirements in a practical way that fits your needs.

We take our experience of working with a variety of registered investment advisers and share what we have learned to help you streamline your processes and problem solve any compliance complexities you encounter. We also share the experience of advisers that the SEC has examined since they registered to help you better prepare your firm for an SEC exam.
