As annual renewal season rapidly approaches, investment advisers should be proactive and begin preparing for renewals by reviewing to make sure the investment advisor is properly registered or notice filed, as applicable, and that its investment adviser representatives are properly licensed with all required state securities regulators.  The IARD Renewal Program serves to facilitate the annual renewal of investment advisers and their investment adviser representatives’ registrations with the appropriate state securities regulators.
