Open Call: Outsourcing by Investment Advisers SEC Proposed New Rule 206(4)-11, and Amendments to Rule 204-2 and Form ADV


On October 26, 2022, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) proposed new rule 206(4)-11 and rule amendments under the Advisers Act that prohibit SEC-registered investment advisers from outsourcing certain services or functions to service providers and third-party recordkeepers without meeting minimum due diligence and monitoring requirements.

If adopted in its current form, the requirements would have a significant impact on the due diligence and monitoring obligations of SEC-registered advisers on a broad range of functions including outsourced or supplementary trading arrangements.
