Investment adviser registration

SEC and state investment adviser registration, Form ADV preparation, and the written compliance program and code of ethics that survive a first examination.

Greenridge L&C Advisors registers investment advisers with the SEC or the states: Form ADV Parts 1 and 2, the written compliance program, the code of ethics, and the policies an examiner will test. Our principal was senior counsel in the SEC's Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations.

What registration involves

Registration is the beginning of an examination relationship, not the end of a form.

  • Form ADV Part 1, Part 2A brochure, and Part 2B
  • Written compliance program and code of ethics
  • Books-and-records and custody policy design
  • State notice filings and the ongoing cadence

Built to survive the first exam

We build the program the way an examiner reads it, because our principal spent years on that side. Registration that is not exam-ready is a deficiency waiting to be written.

Common questions

SEC or state registration, which applies to me?
It depends primarily on your regulatory assets under management and where your clients are. We assess the threshold and register you in the right place.
Do you keep the compliance program current after registration?
We can, through ongoing engagements: annual reviews, updates as rules change, and exam readiness. Registration is the start of the obligation, not the finish.
