Guide: Regulation S-P Compliance Checklist for Investment Advisers

Applies to
SEC-registered investment adviser

When this applies

Commission staff guidance, with its own caveat: the guide “summarizes and explains rules and form amendments adopted by the Commission, but is not a substitute for any rule or form itself. Only a rule or form itself can provide complete and definitive information regarding its requirements.” Start here, then read the rule.

What the rule says

A description of the source text.

A short plain-language walk through the 2024 Regulation S-P amendments, the SEC staff's small entity compliance guide under section 212 of SBREFA. It sets out the two compliance dates, 3 December 2025 for larger entities and 3 June 2026 for smaller ones, and covers the incident response programme, service provider oversight, the notification obligation and the recordkeeping requirement.

What it requires

Luna's plain-English reading, not the Commission's words.
