Registered Investment Advisory firm - SEC (6/18/2008 Terminated)

Broker-Dealer Firm Regulated by FINRA (Woodbridge district office)

Why is a state registration marked "Terminated"? When a firm registers with the SEC (usually after managing $100M+ AUM), it often withdraws separate state firm registrations unless required by that state. The firm can still serve clients there through its individually registered Investment Advisor Representatives (IARs).

State Registrations and Notice Filings
