Rialytix data sources

What’s in the data?

Rialytix converts public SEC disclosure data into structured analytics for registered investment adviser research, benchmarking, and industry analysis.

Primary source documents

Rialytix is built from SEC Form ADV disclosure data. Form ADV is the primary regulatory filing used by investment advisers. It includes both structured fields and narrative disclosures that describe how an adviser operates, who it serves, how it is compensated, and how its business has changed over time.

Form ADV Part 1A

Structured adviser filing data covering firm profile information, regulatory assets under management, employees, offices, client types, advisory services, ownership, control persons, and disclosures.

Form ADV Part 2A

The firm brochure. This narrative disclosure explains advisory business, fees and compensation, account requirements, conflicts of interest, brokerage practices, custody, and investment methods.

Form CRS

The client relationship summary. Where available, this shorter disclosure summarizes services, fees, conflicts, standards of conduct, and disciplinary history.

How Rialytix processes raw filings

Step 1

Source SEC filings

Rialytix starts with public Form ADV filings and adviser disclosure data made available through SEC sources.

Step 2

Normalize key fields

Raw filing values are organized into cleaner fields for AUM, employees, client categories, services, fee types, ownership, offices, and filing dates.

Step 3

Build analytics

Structured records power RIA search, firm profiles, AUM history, employee growth, client demographics, and industry level benchmarking.

Field coverage

Rialytix uses filing history and current adviser profiles to make public RIA data easier to search, compare, and benchmark.

Structured data with source context

Some ADV fields are clean numeric values, while brochure language can be descriptive, qualified, or conditional. Rialytix separates clear data from language that may require review so the platform can support analytics without overstating ambiguous disclosures about fees, account minimums, client requirements, or advisory services.
