What Happened?
Registered investment advisors (“RIAs”) and exempt reporting advisers (“ERAs”) will soon begin receiving automated reminder emails from the Investment Adviser Registration Depository (“IARD”) stating that the annual Form ADV amendment is due within 90 days of the firm’s fiscal year end. If your fiscal year ended December 31, you will be required to file an annual amendment to your Form ADV by March 31, 2026. Firms should plan to file before the deadline.
These filings are filed electronically with the SEC through the IARD, which must be funded to make the annual amendment filing. The filing fee varies depending on your assets under management, and it is important to review your IARD account balance at FINRA to ensure sufficient funds are available to cover these fees.
What Does This Mean for Me?
Fairview is actively working on annual amendment drafts for its ERA and RIA clients to ensure filing deadlines are met and that filing fees are properly funded. If you have any questions or concerns about your Form ADV Annual Amendment or need guidance, let us know.
