Form ADV Database

Form ADV is the registration and disclosure document filed with the SEC by investment advisers managing $110M or more in assets, and with state regulators below that threshold. It includes the firm's AUM, number of clients, investment strategies, and types of accounts managed.

Many registered investment advisers (RIAs) also function as limited partners in private funds — particularly family office RIAs, endowment consultants, and multi-family offices. Form ADV Part 1 discloses which advisers manage discretionary assets in private funds, making it a powerful signal for fund managers identifying prospective LPs.

LPbacked indexes Form ADV data via SEC EDGAR and cross-references it with LP profiles to surface RIAs that actively invest in private markets, along with verified contact details for the investment team.
