Advisors Protecting Their Greatest Asset: How to Avoid and Minimize Disclosures On Your Forms U4/U5

You’ve worked hard and made many sacrifices to build a successful advisory business. But arguably, your greatest asset is your reputation.

Any negative disclosures on your public records (BrokerCheck, the CRD, the IARD, or the IAPD) can greatly damage your reputation and affect your ability to attract new clients, change BDs and firms, and sell your advisory business. Because disclosures are so easily accessible, advisors have to place a premium upon keeping their public image pristine.

On Wednesday, October 27th, we’ve been asked by Michael Sakraida, CEO and founder of the Financial Advisor Network (FAN), a network of over 18,000 advisors, to discuss how advisors can mitigate their exposure and successfully remove meritless disclosures from their Forms U4 and U5.


Our concise and impactful webinar will focus on:

  • disclosure responsibility with the new brochure rule
  • removing “unremovable” disclosures
  • working with the “one-and-done-forever” appeal process
  • avoiding retaliatory license disclosures from your BD/firm
  • creating a proactive process to avoid/remove disclosures
