On August 25, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted amendments to Form ADV and to certain rules promulgated under the Investment Adviser Act of 1940, as amended (the "Advisers Act"). These amendments will be effective sixty days after publication in the Federal Register, which is expected to happen shortly. Investment advisers will need to comply with the amendments beginning October 1, 2017. This means that any adviser filing an initial Form ADV or an amendment to an existing Form ADV on or after October 1, 2017 will be required to provide responses to the revised form. Likewise, any communications circulated or distributed by an adviser will need to comply with the amended books and records rule beginning October 1, 2017.
