May 19 – Investment Adviser Marketing Rule

May 19, 2023

May 19, 2023, 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM Eastern

Overview

Course Description:

The SEC recently adopted sweeping changes to its rules governing advertising and referrals. However, to date the commission has provided little in the way of guidance for advisers trying to comply with the new rules. Many advisers continue to struggle to understand how they can benefit from some of the changes in the rules without inadvertently violating them.

This session will take a deep dive into the rule (including the latest SEC guidance), including testimonials, social media, and the new requirements for presenting performance data.

A brief overview of GIPS is also included.

Learning Objectives

After attending this session, attendees should be able to:

-Analyze and improve your firm’s marketing policies and procedures.
