How Does an Iowa Investment Adviser Bond Work?
As with all surety bonds, an investment adviser bond creates a legal contract between three parties:
- Principal: You, the investment adviser filing the bond
- Obligee: The Iowa Insurance Division requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
This holds you financially responsible for upholding Iowa Code Section 502.102.
If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you are ultimately responsible for refunding the surety.
How Do I Renew My Bond?
These bonds expire annually. To renew your investment adviser bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted.
We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
