March 16, 2020
In response to the outbreak of COVID-19, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced an order, “providing a temporary exemption from certain requirements of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.” Per this order, SEC registered investment advisers and exempt reporting advisers impacted by COVID-19 with a fiscal year end of December 31, 2019 now will have until the May 14, 2020 to file their Form ADV Amendments. The original deadline was March 30, 2020. Regardless of the extension, RIA Compliance Consultants recommends that investment adviser firms should try to get the ADV Annual Amendment filed as soon as possible. The extension is available only to SEC investment adviser firms that cannot meet the deadline due to the effects of COVID-19.
