- Where does the data come from?
- Every figure comes from public SEC filings: Form ADV Part 1 and its schedules, the SEC’s monthly lists of registered advisers going back ten years, and broker-dealers’ audited reports on EDGAR. Each section of a firm’s Atlas record names the filing it came from.
- Does Atlas include advisors’ email addresses and phone numbers?
- No. We don’t sell personal contact details. Atlas gives each firm’s website, main office, CRD and SEC numbers and the owners and executives it names on Form ADV, which is what most teams use to find the right person through their own tools.
- How current is it?
- The SEC publishes its registered-adviser data monthly, and we load each release when it lands. The current data is from filings as of October 1, 2026. Members get an email when firms on their watchlist or in their saved screens change.
- Can I cancel?
- Yes, any time, from the Plan page. Monthly plans stop at the end of the month you’ve paid for; there’s no annual contract unless you choose annual billing, which saves $60 a year. New members get 7 days free.
- Which advisers are covered?
- Every investment adviser registered with the SEC: wealth managers, private fund advisers, asset managers and dually registered broker-dealers. Advisers registered only with a state aren’t in the SEC’s data, so they aren’t in Atlas.
- Is the news still free?
- Yes. Financial ADVSR’s reporting, newsletters and every firm’s basic profile stay free. Atlas adds the full database underneath them.
