To facilitate compliance with amendments to Rule 206(4)-1 (Marketing Rule) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, we developed a Compliance Checklist.  The date for compliance  is November 4, 2022 – by which time registered investment advisers must adopt and implement new policies and procedures, and build the operational and supervisory systems necessary for compliance.

• The Marketing Rule modernizes the regulatory regime governing investment adviser marketing practices and revises standards that investment advisers have been operating under for decades.
• Compliance with the Marketing Rule will require significant changes to investment advisers’ marketing practices, including use of testimonials, endorsements, or third party ratings and investment advisers’ use of performance information.
• The Compliance Checklist is intended to serve as a helpful guide for legal and compliance personnel responsible for developing compliant policies, procedures, and systems that account for these sweeping changes.
