(𝐒𝐄𝐂) 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐤 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐭𝐬: The Division of Examinations issued a Risk Alert this week to provide investment advisers, investors, and other market participants with information regarding investment advisers’ compliance with the 𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐑𝐮𝐥𝐞 206(4)-1 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐮𝐥𝐞.

𝐀. 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐑𝐮𝐥𝐞
The staff observed that advisers’ compliance policies and procedures typically included processes to comply with the Marketing Rule. Advisers that updated their written marketing-related policies and procedures typically established a process for reviewing advertisements. Many of these advisers also required pre-approval of advertisements before dissemination.

There were instances where advisers’ policies and procedures were not reasonably designed or implemented to address compliance with the Marketing Rule, which resulted in gaps for preventing violations of the Marketing Rule, Books and Records Rule, or both. 

The staff observed policies and procedures that: 
🔹 Consisted only of general descriptions and expectations related to the Marketing Rule.
🔹 Did not address applicable marketing channels utilized by the advisers, such as websites and social media.
🔹 Were informal rather than in writing.
🔹 Were incomplete, not updated, or partially updated for certain applicable marketing topics. 
🔹 Were not tailored to address advisers’ specific advertisements (e.g., policies and procedures to address the General Prohibitions, and advertising requirements for testimonials, endorsements, and third-party ratings utilized by advisers in advertisements). 
🔹 Did not adequately address the preservation and maintenance of advertisements and related documents, such as copies of any questionnaires or surveys used in the preparation of a third-party rating included or appearing in any advertisement. 
🔹 Were updated to reflect the Marketing Rule but were not implemented. 

𝐁. 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐑𝐮𝐥𝐞
The staff observed that advisers typically had updated their policies and procedures to reflect Marketing Rule-related books and records maintenance and preservation requirements. Nevertheless, the staff observed Marketing Rule-related books and records deficiencies, including:

🔹 Advisers completed questionnaires or surveys used in the preparation of a third-party rating but did not maintain a copy of such questionnaires.
🔹 Advisers did not maintain copies of information posted to social media.
🔹 Advisers did not maintain documentation to support performance claims included in advertisements.
