Investment Advisor Registration Depository (IARD)
On September 12, 2000, the SEC adopted amendments to Form ADV and new rules requiring all investment advisers registered with the SEC to begin filing Form ADV electronically through the Investment Adviser Registration Depository (IARD) system. Beginning January 1, 2001, SEC-registered advisers must use IARD and State-registered advisers will also submit filings electronically through IARD. Like the Central Registration Depository or CRD, the IARD will give investors access to information about investment advisers and persons who work for investment advisers.
