# Regulatory adviser data for developers

Public data about investment advisers, from the SEC and FINRA. We publish firm-level fields only, never individual records.

## Form ADV (SEC)

The registration form investment advisers file with the SEC or the states, and that exempt reporting advisers file in part. Part 1A is structured answers; those answers become data.
