SEC Division of Investment Management staff letter: R. Bryan Stoker

The SEC staff clarifies that an author whose writings do not contain advisory information relating to specific securities or issuers, and are not part of a series intended to be updated or supplemented, is not considered an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The staff also notes that a financial planner may rely on the broker-dealer exception only if the advisory services are incidental to the broker-dealer business and performed within the scope of employment with a registered broker-dealer. The staff generally declines to express an opinion on the availability of the publisher's exclusion or other exclusions due to the fact-specific nature of the analysis required.
