The reporting
AUMSearch supplies regulatory data drawn from SEC filings and adviser registration records. Articles cite the records and datasets behind their claims, alongside attributed company statements and announcements where relevant.
Coverage distinguishes filing dates from business events, complete counts from selected examples, and reported balances from inferred activity. Headlines, teasers and graphics follow the same evidence standards as the article.
Our methodology explains how we handle sources, reporting periods, comparisons and corrections.
