Information gathered through these electronic filings is now being stored in a publicly accessible database, which is operated by FINRA, just like their WebCRD system for broker/dealers. Navigating the storm of regulatory filings has long been an area of concern for investment advisors. Inaccurate and incomplete form filings can slow a firm and agent’s registrations down, or worse cause a "non-reportable" item to become permanent on his/her IARD record. Confidentiality and Timely Filings are another area of concern for many firms and their agents. For more than 20 years, MGL has successfully guided its clients through the maze of regulatory filings required by FINRA, SEC and state regulatory agencies. Our staff of trained professionals can help you make sure that your IARD filings are handled accurately, expeditiously, and economically. At MGL, you will have experienced professionals handling all your new registrations, amendments and withdrawals through the IARD. Our staff can also handle the electronic state "notice filings" and authorize payment of state fees from your IARD account for SEC registered investment advisers. MGL can also assist with state registered investment advisers that will be required to utilize the IARD system for state registrations. Once a state registered investment adviser is online, the IARD system will automatically calculate the amount of fees due for your state registrations, and will remit the funds from your firm’s IARD account directly to the state. For a complete listing of states participating in the IARD system and or their expected transition date, please contact Suzette M. Surman at 281-367-0380. As a client of MGL, our staff will provide you with tracking reports reflecting all adviser approvals and promptly notifying you as approvals are received.
