Explanation:
Filing the annual Form ADV Part 1A gives the SEC and the state securities authorities information about the investment adviser's business, ownership, clients, employees, business practices, affiliations, and any disciplinary events of the adviser or its employees. The form enables the SEC to register investment advisers and to obtain information from and about exempt reporting advisers.
While dealing with an asset out of an unsystematic firm-specific risk <em>there is no compensation to expect</em> from a firm since it is the individual who is taking the risk in trading that asset. All responsibility relies on the individual's strategy when placing a transaction but the firm does not have any responsibility for having the individual accept that security.
