What is the ADV Analyzer?
The ADV Analyzer measures the Total Quality of a Registered Investment Adviser’s (RIA) Form ADV filing.
How is the Total Quality Score measured?
The Total Quality Score is based on the Accuracy, Consistency and Frequency of the Registered Investment Adviser’s (RIA’s) Form ADV filing behavior.
Why should I care about the Total Quality of my Form ADV filing?
The SEC continues to criticize registered Registered Investment Advisers (RIA) for inaccurate, inconsistent, and less frequent regulatory filings. The SEC has publicly disclosed their use of more advanced data mining and analytical techniques to proactively identify Advisers that demonstrate “off-market” regulatory filing practices. "Off-market” practices are relatively easy to spot when one examines the filing practices of one Adviser versus 17,000 other Advisers. Adviser filings across multiple periods that “materially” differ from their prior filings or are inconsistent with the filing practices of other Advisers across the market. Advisers with “off-market” practices are fertile ground for further inspection. The SEC views. Advisers making “off-market” filings as potential “bad actors” that can create risk to investors and the market.
How does the ADV Analyzer measure Accuracy?
Convergence measures Accuracy by examining your Form ADV filings for Errors and Omissions.
How does the ADV Analyzer measure Consistency?
Convergence measures Consistency by examining your interim and annual Form ADV filings and when you updated them, were they consistent or inconsistent with the market.
How does the ADV Analyzer measure Frequency?
Convergence measures Frequency by identifying the number of interim and annual Form ADV filings that you made during the year. Too many filings suggests the correction of errors and omissions and/or significant and material changes to your business, each of which is likely to draw the SEC’s attention. Too few filings suggests that your business has not changed materially enough to have filed an interim update. Period-to-period comparisons of changes can determine whether you make interim updates.
How do I know whether my Total Quality Score is considered good?
Convergence plots the Total Quality Score for all Registered Investment Advisers (RIA) in a distribution curve. Advisers in the “right tail” are considered Best Practices because their scores are higher than 84% of all filers. Advisers are considered to have “Consistent Practices” when they are in the “middle of the curve” and are consistent with 68% of all Advisers. Advisers in the “left tail” are considered to have Weaker Practices because their scores are lower than 84% of all filers. Advisers with scores in the left tail of their peer group distribution, and/or have individual test results in the left tail are likely to draw the attention of regulators.
Why should I care about the filing quality of my Form ADV?
The SEC and Investors expect Registered Investment Advisers (RIA) to issue accurate, consistent and timely regulatory filings. Advisers can demonstrate their commitment to regulatory compliance by meeting basic filing standards. Most Advisers seek to meet their basic filing standards. Yet, they don’t know how consistent they are to their peers. Investors, Regulators and Plaintiff Attorneys use “off market” filing quality for different reasons.The Contact Directory is available for download immediately after the order is complete.
What are the benefits of the ADV Analyzer?
•Improves the "quality" of your interim and annual ADV filings.
•Keeps you aware of the practices of all other Advisers in the market.
•Demonstrates your commitment to a strong "compliance culture."
•Avoids inadvertently tripping exam "triggers" used by the SEC.
