SEC Marketing Rule Insights and Solutions

The compliance date for the new Marketing Rule has arrived.

The new Marketing Rule was first approved on December 22, 2020 and had a compliance deadline of November 4, 2022. The new rule is intended to modernize the framework for investment adviser advertising and replace the patchwork of cases, no-action letters and SEC staff guidance that has developed in this area since the rule was first adopted in 1961. 

The SEC has made it clear that compliance with the new rule will be an exam priority. Will your marketing program hold up to SEC scrutiny?

We can help review your program for marketing rule compliance and assess any potential gaps.
