Form ADVW Files Dataset

Form ADVW filings contain requests to withdraw from investment adviser registration with the SEC, as authorized under Section 203(h) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Filing Form ADV-W is mandatory for any registered investment adviser seeking to terminate its registration, whether partially or in full. The withdrawal becomes effective upon acceptance, though registration continues for 60 days solely for enforcement purposes. The dataset includes all Form ADVW filings submitted to EDGAR from January 2002 to present. Most Form ADV-W filings are submitted through the Investment Adviser Registration Depository rather than EDGAR, resulting in a small number of EDGAR submissions. For each accession number, a metadata file and all documents in the original EDGAR submission are included except image files. Each filing typically contains the identity of the registrant, the type of withdrawal requested, the jurisdictions from which registration is being withdrawn, and representations regarding the adviser's current obligations and client accounts.
