    Episode 6 - 2026 IAA Compliance Conference Recap

    Registered investment advisers are operating in an environment where SEC exams, enforcement priorities, and technology risks continue to evolve. At the recent Investment Adviser Association conference in Washington, DC, regulators emphasized cooperation and remediation, a renewed focus on fraud and market manipulation, and ongoing scrutiny of marketing and advertising practices. Our Investment Management & Securities team helps RIAs translate those themes into practical steps. The conference highlighted several areas that should be on every adviser’s radar: avoiding “no conflicts of interest” claims on websites and marketing materials, carefully handling testimonials and third‑party ratings, and reviewing dual‑hatted adviser arrangements where brokerage and advisory services intersect. The discussions also underscored the importance of cybersecurity programs, Reg SP incident response planning for smaller advisers, and thorough vendor due diligence for technology and AI tools that handle client data. Many firms are moving cybersecurity out of a short policy section and into a dedicated manual with its own processes, procedures, and data‑mapping expectations. By staying ahead of these developments, RIAs can respond more effectively to exam findings, remediate issues, and align their policies, procedures, and disclosures with current expectations.

    Episode 5 - Examination Evolution: A Fresh Look at SEC Exam Trends and Insights

    SEC exams continue to evolve, and registered investment advisors should understand where regulators are placing their attention. In this episode on SEC Exam Trends and Insights, Stark & Stark attorneys discuss themes they are seeing in examinations and deficiency letters. The conversation explores how exam priorities are communicated and why they are not an exhaustive list. The attorneys explain that regulators may focus on additional issues depending on firm size, activities, and risk profile. Areas discussed include cybersecurity policies, incident response planning under Regulation S‑P, and the growing emphasis on written documentation. Key topics covered include: ✔️ Incident response programs and how they differ from cybersecurity policies ✔️ Regulation S‑ID and identity theft prevention expectations ✔️ Annual compliance reviews and risk assessments ✔️ SEC filing issues, including Form 13F, Form 13H, and Form N‑PX ✔️ Compliance considerations when using third‑party technology and AI tools The episode also highlights exam scrutiny around recordkeeping, internal testing, and whether firms can clearly explain their compliance processes. The discussion is particularly relevant for investment advisers managing regulatory obligations in a national environment.

    Episode 4 - From Compliance to Creativity: Balancing Marketing Rule Compliance and Innovative Marketing

    Registered investment advisors face increasing scrutiny under the SEC’s marketing rule, particularly around testimonials, endorsements, third‑party awards, and online reviews. Recent examinations show that enforcement is no longer theoretical—firms of all sizes are being fined for disclosure failures, even where violations appear minor. Our Investment Management & Securities Compliance Attorneys advise RIAs nationwide on how to market their services while remaining aligned with regulatory expectations. Common risk areas include advisor websites, Google reviews, social media profiles, email signatures, and the use of logos or plaques tied to awards and rankings. In many cases, deficiencies arise not from false statements, but from missing, inadequate, or improperly displayed disclosures. We work with advisors to review marketing materials, assess compliance risk, and implement practical disclosure strategies that reflect current regulatory guidance. As enforcement evolves, maintaining fair and balanced advertising practices remains critical. This podcast provides general legal information and commentary only.
