The Missouri State Covered Investment Adviser Affidavit is a document used by investment advisers to register with the Missouri Secretary of State. This document is required for the registration process and must be signed and notarized by the investment adviser. It affirms that the investment adviser is in compliance with the Missouri Securities Act and other relevant regulations. There are two types of Missouri State Covered Investment Adviser Affidavits: the Initial Investment Adviser Registration and the Renewal Investment Adviser Registration. The Initial Investment Adviser Registration is used for advisers who are registering to do business in Missouri for the first time. The Renewal Investment Adviser Registration is used by existing advisers who are renewing their registration with the state. Both forms require the adviser to provide their contact information, the types of securities they will be dealing in, the number of clients they have, and any additional disclosures or information.
