SEC Investment Adviser & RIA Firm Data Scraper

Export investment adviser firms from the latest official SEC Form ADV roster snapshots. The Actor supports both SEC-registered investment advisers and exempt reporting advisers, producing business-ready records with CRD and SEC identifiers, firm names, contact details, status, filing date, regulatory assets under management, accounts, employees, custody, and private-fund metrics.

The Actor discovers the newest roster links from the SEC publication page on every run and streams the official ZIP/CSV files. It does not scrape adviserinfo.sec.gov profile pages, does not need browser automation, and does not require an API key.

What you can use it for

• Build RIA and exempt adviser lead lists for fintech, custody, compliance, audit, cybersecurity, recruiting, insurance, legal, and fund-administration services.
• Segment firms by state, country, regulatory AUM, employee count, or SEC status.
• Identify private-fund advisers and compare hedge, private-equity, venture-capital, and gross-asset metrics.
• Enrich CRM records with CRD, SEC, CIK, telephone, website, and current Form ADV filing information.
• Research the US investment-adviser market and regional firm distribution.
• Monitor monthly roster snapshots and adviser filing changes.

Data included

Each result can include:

• registered or exempt roster type and reported firm type
• organization CRD number, SEC number, CIK, and SEC region
• primary business name, legal name, and organization form
• main-office city, state, country, postal code, phone, fax, and websites
• SEC current status, status effective date, jurisdiction notice filings, and latest ADV filing date
• umbrella-registration and relying-adviser counts
• total employees and investment-advisory employees
• discretionary, non-discretionary, and total regulatory assets under management
• discretionary, non-discretionary, and total account counts
• private-fund indicator, fund count, gross assets, and selected fund-type counts
• reported custody amount
• source snapshot filename and direct IAPD firm summary link

For records marked by the SEC as a private-residence main office, street lines are intentionally omitted while city/state/country remain available. Empty financial fields remain null, not zero.

Input

The default input returns up to 1,000 firms from the latest rosters. Set maxResults higher to export tens of thousands.

Results are saved in the default Apify dataset for JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, API, webhook, and integration use.

Understanding Form ADV values

The Actor maps named roster columns and selected Form ADV items; it does not estimate financial values. Regulatory AUM comes from Item 5.F(2)(c), total accounts from Item 5.F(2)(f), employees from Item 5.A, and private-fund metrics from Item 7.B-derived columns. Values represent the firm's latest included filing and may have different reporting dates.

The dataset is a discovery and research aid, not a statement that a firm is currently authorized in every jurisdiction. Always use the linked IAPD profile and relevant regulators for current registration, disciplinary, and disclosure checks.

Performance and reliability

The latest links are discovered dynamically from the SEC page, so month-specific filenames are not hard-coded. CSV rows with hundreds of source columns are streamed and immediately reduced to a normalized record. This keeps 10,000+ result exports practical at 512 MB. Downloads and transient failures use retries; data is saved in batches.

Data source and responsible use

The source is the US Securities and Exchange Commission's information about registered investment advisers and exempt reporting advisers. SEC publication does not constitute endorsement, and this Actor is not affiliated with the SEC or FINRA.

Use data lawfully and verify material investment, compliance, licensing, and due-diligence decisions against current official records. Respect applicable privacy and marketing requirements.

Pricing

The Actor uses a small start event and one pay-per-result event for every saved firm. maxResults controls the upper bound. Scanned firms rejected by filters are not charged as results.
