The Investment Adviser Public Disclosure (IAPD) website is a public service operated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that provides public access to registration and disclosure information about investment adviser firms and individuals. The program's mission is to help investors make informed choices about financial professionals by providing free access to data, including an adviser's employment history, registration status, and any reported disciplinary or criminal events. The IAPD system contains data from the Investment Adviser Registration Depository (IARD), which is operated by FINRA on behalf of the SEC and state securities regulators.
