Official public records

Advisor and firm answers include links to check the record yourself on the SEC and FINRA sites.

Honest limitations

What this data can and cannot tell you

  • Disclosure detail is not published.We show whether an advisor has disclosures and how many. Read the events on BrokerCheck. "Has disclosures" is not automatically disqualifying, and "none reported" is not a guarantee.
  • Advisor records cover SEC-registered firms.Most small state-registered firms have no individual records here. An empty list means "not covered," not "nobody works there."
  • Designations are self-reported.CFP®, CFA and similar titles come from regulatory filings and are not independently confirmed.
  • Fee data is estimated from ADV brochures.Always confirm current fees with the firm.
  • Data is refreshed from SEC filings, not in real time.Each response states its data date.

Fair use

The AdvisorFinder connector is for interactive research: looking up an advisor or a firm, checking a registration, comparing a few options.

  • Automated bulk extraction is not permitted. Do not use scripts or tools to copy, scrape, or rebuild our dataset, and do not use the connector to resell or redistribute its data.
  • To keep the service fast for everyone, the connector limits how many requests each source can make. If you reach the limit, wait and try again.
  • For research or data partnerships, contact support@advisorfinder.com.
