Introduction

Applies to:
✔ Dynamic PDF Mobile Client Portal

The Compliance ADV report compiles relationship data for the account set and as of date you choose to help you complete Form ADV. Using a series of widgets, the Compliance ADV report calculates values, weights, and managed values that correspond to questions on Form ADV that ask about your firm's client account information.

What each user sees on the report will always be limited to accounts they have access to. If your user can only see a subset of all the accounts, only that subset will be displayed on the report.

Important: Separately Managed Accounts

When used on the Compliance ADV Report, the phrase separately managed account is not associated with Tamarac account or security settings for a separately managed account.

Form ADV uses separately managed account to describe all accounts that aren't client types D through F. Tamarac uses separately managed account to describe a specific type of account, often an account managed by outside investment advisors, with some associated account and trading settings. The Compliance ADV Report does not use any of these settings when generating a report and only relies on the Client Type setting, found in Household settings.

For information on how to set up the Compliance ADV report, see Set Up the Compliance ADV Report.
