SEC registered investment advisers (“advisers”) must annually renew their state notice filings through the IARD Renewal Program. With respect to the 2019 IARD Renewal Program:

• 2019 IARD Renewal Statements are now available on the IARD system.
• The deadline for paying renewal fees is December 17, 2018.

Advisers may wish to submit payments a few days ahead of the deadline to allow enough time for payments to be processed. Advisers who fail to make their renewal payments by the payment deadline will not have their state notice filings renewed, and therefore will not be eligible to conduct business in those states, as of January 1, 2019.
