Denver (CO) - March 23, 2022 - The Colorado Division of Securities (the “Division”) recently published an “Ongoing Financial Planning Guide” to assist investment advisers offering ongoing financial planning services.
The guidance provides an overview of compliance issues and regulatory best practices observed by the Division exam staff in examinations of investment advisers.
The staff published the guidance in response to the growing trend of advisers offering financial planning under an ongoing or continuous model, and the increasing need for advisers to review and enhance their compliance programs in this area. To view the regulatory guidance, click here.
Examinations serve to protect investors by ensuring that advisers are following the Colorado laws and rules that govern them. The guidance is not meant to cover all compliance requirements. Investment advisers and their representatives are required to comply with all statutes and applicable rules. For Colorado securities regulations, see Statutes and Rules.
The Division staff resources along with information on the examination process can be found on the Division’s website at For Firms and Industry Professionals.
