New Jersey Bureau of Securities Updates its Written Examination Program for State Registered Investment Advisers
April 22, 2013
The New Jersey Bureau of Securities requires state registered investment advisers to complete and return an annual written examination. Each New Jersey state registered investment adviser is required to answer online the 2013 Annual Examination by May 9, 2013.
Many states have unique requirements for their investment advisers. The New Jersey Bureau of Securities, the securities regulator in the state, requires that state registered investment advisers fill out a written examination. These written examinations must be completed annually by the investment adviser firm. The New Jersey Bureau of Securities’ written examination form states that “written examinations do not take the place of on-site examinations, but may alleviate the need to conduct on-site examinations.” Alternatively, information in the written examination questionnaire may raise red flags for theNew Jersey Bureau of Securities and lead to an on-site examination by regulators.
