## What it does

The skill covers US regulatory filing mechanics. It walks through Form ADV amendments, including the annual updating amendment filed through IARD, Form PF thresholds and filing frequency, quarterly 13F reports for institutional managers, 13H large trader filings, FOCUS report preparation, blue sheet requests, CAT infrastructure, short interest and TRACE reporting.

One section deals with the 2023 Form PF amendments on current reporting. Large hedge fund advisers report triggering events within 72 hours; private equity filers get 60 days. Form PF goes through PFRD rather than EDGAR.

Regulatory status inside the skill is current as of June 2026, and it tells you to check effective dates, dollar thresholds and pending rulemakings against SEC, FINRA and FinCEN sources before relying on any of it. Thresholds such as the $100 million mark for 13F are statutory and not inflation-indexed. Questions about what the ADV brochure must contain and when clients receive it are handed off to client-disclosures.

## When to use it
- work out whether the firm crosses a Form PF filing threshold
- pin down the deadline for the annual updating amendment to Form ADV
- sort ADV items that need a prompt amendment from those that can wait
- draft a response to a blue sheet request
- check current reporting deadlines for Form PF after the 2023 amendments

## Example prompts
- We crossed the $100M 13F threshold — do we have to file, and when?
- Which Form ADV items need a prompt amendment and which can wait for the annual one?
- Our large hedge fund lost 25% of NAV in ten business days — what do we report under Form PF and how fast?

Also trigger when users mention 'filing deadline calendar', 'do we need to file Form PF', 'crossed the $100M 13F threshold', 'CAT clock synchronization', 'how to respond to a blue sheet request', or 'FOCUS report errors'.

# Regulatory Reporting

Regulatory status current as of June 2026 — verify effective dates, dollar thresholds, and pending rulemakings against current SEC/FINRA/FinCEN sources before advising.

## Core Concepts

### Form ADV Amendments
Registered investment advisers must keep Form ADV current through two amendment mechanisms:

**Annual updating amendment** — Must be filed within 90 days of the adviser's fiscal year end (Rule 204-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940). The annual amendment requires the adviser to review and update all items on Form ADV Parts 1, 2A, and 2B. The adviser must also deliver or offer to deliver the updated brochure (Part 2A) to existing clients within 120 days of fiscal year end, along with a summary of material changes.

**Other-than-annual amendments (interim/prompt amendments)** — Certain items on Form ADV must be amended promptly when information becomes inaccurate. "Promptly" is generally interpreted as within 30 days of the event, though some changes require faster action. Items requiring prompt amendment include:
- Changes in the adviser's organizational structure, control persons, or ownership (Part 1, Items 1, 2, 3, 7, 10, 11)
- Changes in disciplinary history (Part 1, Item 11, DRPs)
- Changes in the adviser's financial condition that would require disclosure under Part 2A Item 18
```
