  • Group Warns On State Registration Issues
    08/06/2010

    Registration Issues Investment advisers that have to switch from Securities and Exchange Commission oversight to state registration will face challenges, according to Lisa Roth of the National Association of Independent Broker/Dealers (see Regulatory Talk, page 7). The NAIBD has many dually-registered firm members. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, most advisers that manage less than $100 million must register with the states they operate in within a year. "Because this is a coast-to-coast initiative, one would hope that there is extended time period to register," Roth told CR. While switching from state to SEC registration is relatively painless, going the other direction requires filling out paperwork and potentially a significantly different approval process from state to state, said Roth, a member of the NAIBD's board of directors. For instance, states such as Arizona conduct more thorough qualitative reviews of an adviser's application than others, peering into the firm's advisory agreements, balance sheets and other documents, she added. Meanwhile, other states can take six months to approve an adviser's application, and it is unclear how such a lag will affect those firms that are swapping to state registration, Roth said. Patricia Struck, administrator of the Division of Securities with the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions and chair of the North American Securities Administrators Association's Investment Adviser Section, told CR that state regulators are looking to streamline the switchover and that they welcome input on doing so.
