Investment Adviser Public Disclosure (IAPD)

The Investment Adviser Public Disclosure (IAPD) is a database that contains information on investment adviser firms and investment adviser representatives who are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or with state securities regulators. The IAPD search includes information on an investment adviser firm's or representative's name, address, and phone number, registration status, fees, investment strategies, and disciplinary history.

The IAPD database is a valuable resource for potential employees who will be handling investments. The information in the SEC IAPD adviser search can help you to assess the qualifications and experience of a potential employee, as well as to identify any potential red flags, such as disciplinary history.

For example, if you are hiring a financial adviser, you would want to ensure that the adviser has a clean disciplinary record and is properly registered with the SEC. By conducting an IAPD investment adviser search, you can help to protect from potential investment fraud and ensure you’re hiring qualified and trustworthy employees.

If you are considering hiring an investment adviser, we encourage you to use the IAPD search to research the adviser and to make an informed decision.
