Investment Adviser Services
Forming a New Registered Investment Adviser

Many firms in the industry are transferring from commission to fee-based
business for professional asset management and financial planning.  In order
to conduct this type of business, you must be a registered
investment
adviser.

For startup firms, CCLS can help register the firm and its personnel so that
you can begin managing assets.  Based on an hourly fee engagement, CCLS
will formulate the advisory legal and compliance programs based on your
unique business model. Project timelines will be customized and developed
based upon your service needs:

  • Completion of Forms ADV Part 1 and II
  • Review of business developments, potential conflicts of interest
    identified and business risk management solutions










  • Review proposed marketing materials to ensure compliance with
    relevant securities regulations
  • Develop written policies and procedures customized to the client firm’s
    business
  • Create Code of Ethics, Privacy Policy (Regulation S-P), Business
    Continuity Plan, Proxy Voting and Anti-Money Laundering Programs
    based on the adviser's business model
  • Suggest compliance program technology solutions and internal controls
  • Provide annual compliance calendar for the adviser to use in testing the
    efficacy of the firm’s compliance program
  • Develop a comprehensive books and recordkeeping process, including
    identifying roles and responsibilities for key areas along with retention
    periods
  • Provide ongoing consultations and risk assessments as requested
