The RIA's Compliance Solution Book: Answers for the Critical Questions

Registered investment advisers are accustomed to regulatory scrutiny. But the pressure to understand changing compliance regulations and to meet the requirements they impose has never been more intense. A range of scandals and abuses has caused the Securities and Exchange Commission to tighen regulation and step up enforcement. Unfortunately, definitive compliance information - the kind that can save advisers precious time and spare them serious trouble - has not been easy to find. Until now. This book gathers the information needed most and puts it all in one place. Here advisers will find plain-English translations of the rules that regulate such issues as: * advisory contracts and fees * advertising and client communications * RIA compliance programs and codes of ethics * custody of customer accounts * completing, filing, and amending Form ADV * selecting brokers and executing trades.
