How this service works
Investment adviser firm record from the SEC IAPD (Form ADV) by CRD number or firm name: legal and other names, adviser status, SEC file number, latest Form ADV filing date and PDF link, office address, SEC / state / exempt-reporting registration flags, registration history, state notice filings and brochure list, plus the IAPD page.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing the firm's CRD number, SEC number, full legal name, known alternative names, current adviser status (ACTIVE/INACTIVE), registered address, SEC registration details with effective date and jurisdiction, Form ADV PDF link, IAPD profile URL, latest Form ADV filing date, notice filings, and whether the firm is SEC-registered or state-registered.
Example use cases
Verify adviser SEC registration status
“Is Fidelity Investments currently registered with the SEC as an investment adviser? Look them up by name and tell me their registration status, CRD number, and address.”
Retrieve Form ADV for due diligence
“I'm doing due diligence on a wealth manager — can you pull the latest Form ADV PDF and registration history for the firm with CRD number 105958?”
Check if adviser is state or SEC registered
“Can you check whether BlackRock Advisors is registered at the SEC level or just state-registered, and give me their current adviser status and any notice filings?”
