Prepare the Form ADV Annual Amendment
January 3, 2026
An investment adviser with a fiscal year end of December 31 is encouraged to begin preparing their required Form ADV annual updating amendments. The Form ADV annual amendment must be submitted through the IARD system within 90 days of the investment adviser’s fiscal year end.
If an investment adviser firm is state registered, it should be noted that certain state securities regulators have additional renewal requirements beyond the IARD renewal statements and Annual Form ADV Amendment. Each state has its own deadline for these miscellaneous requirements, so it is important to check directly with the states where the investment adviser firm is state registered.
