The Commission has expressed no view regarding the analysis, findings, or conclusions contained herein. Information presented in this report reflects staff’s compilation and analysis of data reported to the Commission on Form ADV Part 1A. The presented information does not reflect any filings or amended filings submitted after April 27, 2025. Analytics Office Introduction This report provides statistics and trends for investment advisers that file Form ADV Part 1A, reflecting data collected through April 27, 2025. Please see the Appendix to this report for definitions of capitalized terms, other technical descriptions, and significant changes to Form ADV over time. Advisers that file or report to the Commission on Form ADV Part 1A must file an annual updating amendment on Form ADV within 90 days after the end of their respective fiscal years. As a result, information filed on Form ADV is asynchronous across advisers. Additionally, those advisers that file or report to the Commission on Form ADV are required to promptly file other-than-annual amendments if certain aspects of their most recent annual updating amendment have changed — for more details, see the Form ADV, General Instructions. Commission Staff works with the reported information and with filers to identify and correct filing errors and employs certain methodologies and assumptions in aggregating the data. Commission Staff updates reported statistics from time to time to reflect corrected and amended filings and any adjustments to methodologies and assumptions, which may result in changes to previously reported statistics. Where appropriate, Commission Staff may remove erroneous filings to ensure the accuracy of information presented. A downloadable Excel file published alongside this report provides the most recently updated historical data and includes methodological notes and assumptions, including a description of significant changes.

In particular, [a, b] includes all values from a to b including both a and b. [a, b) includes all values from a to b including a, but not b. (a, b] includes all values from a to b including b, but not a. (a, b) includes all values from a to b excluding both a and b. 12.2 Methodology for Timeseries Analysis To construct aggregate statistics for SEC-Registered Investment Advisers (RIAs) and Exempt Reporting Advisers (ERAs) in this report we create a timeseries of adviser status and data reported for each adviser from Form ADV filings. First, we determine the status of a RIA or ERA at a given point in time by utilizing reported Form ADV initial, final, and and ADV-W filings. For each investment adviser, a time series of an adviser’s status as an RIA or ERA can be constructed by “filling forward” an adviser’s reporting status from their initial Form ADV filing until they withdraw from registration or switch to reporting as another adviser type. To align Form ADV filings with the corresponding time period given asynchronous reporting, we collect all annual Form ADV Part 1A amendments, other-than-annual amendments, and initial Form ADV filings received through April 27, 2025. We then assign a “report period” to each filing based upon the reported fiscal year-end month in Form ADV Item 3B and corresponding Form ADV filing dates. Other-than annual amendments are associated to the report period of the most recent initial or annual-amendment made by the same adviser. We then take the latest Form ADV initial filing, annual amendment, or other-than annual ammendment for each report period for each adviser to ensure the most recent data is utilized for that report period. Once Form ADV filings for a given adviser are associated with a given report period, we “fill forward” the values in these ADV filings until an ADV amendment is received or a Form ADV is filed for a new report period to construct a time series of values reported for each adviser. After constructing a time series of registration history and reported values for each adviser, we aggregate reported information for both RIAs and ERAs over time. Given the asynchronous nature of Form ADV filings, aggregates at a specific point in time reflect Form ADV filings representing different as-of dates. 26 Analytics Office 12.3 Form ADV, Part 1A Changes Below we include a brief summary of certain changes made to Form ADV, Part 1A since 2000 that may impact the availability, or meaning of, historical information collected in certain data elements presented here in this report.7 Release Number IA-5653 Effective Date May 4, 2021 Form ADV Amendments Reflect New requirements to provide the SEC with additional information concerning marketing practices.
