AdvPulse

Use this when the user wants investment adviser firms that meet criteria from their Form ADV filings: main office state, a range of regulatory assets under management, firm type or disclosure history, for example advisers in Texas managing over $1 billion. Returns how many firms match and up to 10 of them, optionally ranked by one brochure phrase; each firm the phrase ranks comes with the brochure passage it was ranked on. A phrase ranks the firms only when 1,000 or fewer match; narrow the filters otherwise. has_disclosures true keeps only firms that report disclosures in Item 11, false only firms that report none. Exempt reporting advisers do not report assets under management (Form ADV Item 5F), so aum_min or aum_max leaves all of them out. Data is from public SEC Form ADV filings. At most 10 firms per call; there is no paging.

filter_firms

Use this when the user names an investment adviser firm that files Form ADV with the SEC (a registered investment adviser, or RIA, such as a wealth manager or an asset manager) and asks about it: its registration, assets, location or disclosures. Takes the firm's name or part of it and returns the matching firms with their CRD numbers only; then call get_firm with a CRD for the firm's profile. Covers firms, not individual people. Data is from public SEC Form ADV filings. At most 10 firms per call; there is no paging.

find_firm

Use this when an investment adviser firm's CRD number is known, from find_firm, a list result or the user, and the user wants that firm's profile: main office city and state, regulatory assets under management, firm type, registration status, website, whether it reports disclosures, and a link to its SEC record. Data is from public SEC Form ADV filings. At most 10 firms per call; there is no paging.

get_firm

Use this when the user asks which investment advisers describe a practice in their Form ADV Part 2A brochures: an investment strategy, a client type, a service or a fee arrangement, for example tax-loss harvesting, ESG screening or municipal bonds. Searches the brochures' text by meaning and returns the firms whose brochures match the phrase most closely, each with a short excerpt. When the user also gives criteria such as a state or an asset range, filter_firms with the phrase answers both at once. Data is from public SEC Form ADV filings. At most 10 firms per call; there is no paging.
