Form Adv

Overview

CaseMark's Form ADV skill automates the drafting of complete SEC and state investment adviser registration filings, including Parts 1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B. By analyzing your entity documents, advisory agreements, compliance policies, and personnel bios, it produces internally consistent, IARD-ready responses and client-facing brochures in a fraction of the time required for manual preparation.

Drafting Form ADV is one of the most time-consuming tasks in investment adviser compliance. Manually populating IARD fields, writing plain-English brochures, creating individual supervised person supplements, and ensuring consistency across all parts requires extensive cross-referencing of entity documents, agreements, and policies — often taking days of attorney and compliance staff time.

CaseMark automates the entire Form ADV drafting process by ingesting your firm's formation documents, advisory agreements, compliance policies, and personnel bios. The AI cross-references all data points to produce internally consistent, IARD-ready Part 1A/1B responses, client-facing Part 2A brochures, and individualized Part 2B supplements — complete with an open issues list for efficient compliance review.

How it works

  1. 1. Upload entity formation documents, ownership records, advisory agreements, fee schedules, compliance policies, and supervised person bios

  2. 2. AI analyzes your documents and populates all Form ADV data points with cross-referenced, internally consistent responses

  3. 3. Review the generated Parts 1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B along with a flagged open issues list for any missing information

  4. 4. Export IARD-ready filings and client-facing brochures in your preferred format (DOCX, PDF)

Questions

Does CaseMark generate all four parts of Form ADV?

Yes. CaseMark drafts Part 1A, Part 1B (for state-registered advisers), Part 2A (the firm brochure), and Part 2B (supervised person supplements) as a complete, internally consistent package ready for compliance review.

Are the Part 1A responses formatted for IARD filing?

Absolutely. CaseMark structures Part 1A responses to align with IARD field requirements, including schedules for ownership, related persons, and private fund reporting, so you can transfer them directly into the IARD system.

Can I use this for Form ADV amendments as well as initial filings?

Yes. You can upload prior filings or amendments and CaseMark will draft updated responses reflecting changes to your firm's information, services, or personnel while maintaining consistency across all parts.

How does CaseMark handle missing or unverified information?

CaseMark generates an Open Issues List that flags any data points that are missing, ambiguous, or require verification — such as disciplinary history or custody status — so your compliance team knows exactly what needs attention before filing.

Is the Part 2A brochure written in plain English for clients?

Yes. CaseMark drafts the Part 2A brochure in clear, plain-English language as required by SEC rules, making it suitable for direct distribution to clients and prospects without extensive rewriting.

Does CaseMark account for state-specific registration requirements?

CaseMark incorporates state-specific requirements when you specify your target jurisdictions, including Part 1B responses required for state-registered investment advisers, ensuring your filing meets both SEC and state regulatory standards.
