FORM ADV:Series 65 and Series 66 Exam
Description
Form ADV serves as the primary registration document utilized by investment advisors, structured into three distinct parts alongside specific schedules to inform both regulators and clients. Part 1 focuses on regulatory data, where Part 1A gathers general firm facts for both federal and state authorities, while Part 1B collects supplementary information specifically mandated for state-registered entities. Part 2 functions as the client brochure, dividing information between Part 2A, which details the overarching advisory business and its operational practices, and Part 2B, which highlights the background and disciplinary history of individual advisors. Part 3, known as the Form CRS, offers everyday retail investors a concise summary of the relationship, fees, and potential conflicts. Finally, the schedules provide deeper administrative clarity by outlining direct owners, indirect owners, and necessary updates to the filing.
