Email Citing the ongoing risk of terrorist and cyber-attacks, the 2008 financial crisis, and Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy, the SEC has issued proposed rules under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 that would require investment advisers to establish business continuity and transition plans to be utilized in the event of a data loss, system failure, or other significant business disruption. The proposed rules for investment advisers, similar to business continuity plan rules already mandated by FINRA, the CFTC, and the NFA, would require that such plans be risk-based, documented in written policies and procedures, and reviewed at least annually. The proposed rules would also amend the existing books and records requirements to impose new recordkeeping obligations relating to business continuity and transition plans. If approved, they would convert what is currently an industry best practice to a requirement for all SEC-registered investment advisers. https://www.cadwalader.com/resources/clients-friends-memos/sec-proposal-would-require-business-continuity-and-transition-plans-for-investment-advisers
