Based on member feedback, we are in the process of redesigning our Resource Library, as well as working on an improved search feature. In the meantime, if you need assistance finding a resource or would like to discuss an issue with a member of the legal team, please contact us at IAALegalTeam@investmentadviser.org.
The IAA submitted a comment letter urging the SEC to make additional changes to its proposed rule relating to the safeguarding of advisory client assets.
The IAA urged the SEC to update the definition of “small business” under the Advisers Act and better tailor its regulations for smaller advisers. The Custody Rule was included in the list of rules to be reviewed under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, and the IAA described the rule as overly complex, unduly burdensome, and causing unnecessary confusion.
The IAA and another trade association discussed concerns related to SEC staff guidance from February 2017 on the Advisers Act Custody Rule and inadvertent custody.
The SEC issued a no-action letter to the IAA regarding the Advisers Act custody rule and SLOAs. The SEC staff stated that advisers would have custody under these circumstances but provided no-action relief from the surprise examination requirement if certain conditions are satisfied.
The IAA joined 11 other trade associations to submit a letter to the SEC requesting an extension of the comment period for the Safeguarding Client Assets Proposal.
Responding to an SEC letter to the IAA seeking feedback, we submitted a joint letter to SEC staff explaining why transactions that settle non DVP should not be subject to the Custody Rule.
