Delivery of Form ADV Part 2A to Existing Clients

An investment adviser is required to deliver to each client, annually within 120 days after the end of the investment adviser’s fiscal year and without charge, if there are material changes to the investment adviser’s brochure since the investment adviser’s last annual updating amendment:

(1) a current copy of the investment adviser’s disclosure brochure (Form ADV Part 2A or if a wrap-fee client, Form ADV Part 2A Appendix 1); or

(2) a summary of material changes to the investment adviser’s disclosure brochure with an offer to provide a current copy of the disclosure brochure upon request.

If an investment delivers the summary of material changes, then the required offer to provide a current copy of the disclosure brochure must include the investment adviser’s website address (if available), an e-mail address (if available), a telephone number by which a client may obtain the current disclosure brochure from the investment adviser, and the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure (IAPD) website address (http://www.adviserinfo.sec.gov/) .
