# Search SEC-registered and exempt reporting investment advisers (Form ADV) by firm name, largest by regulatory assets under management first. Matches both the legal name and the "doing business as" name.

`GET /v1/investment-advisers`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.equibles.com`
- URL: `https://api.equibles.com/v1/investment-advisers`
- Auth: HTTP bearer
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/equibles/apis/equibles-api/docs/v1/investment-advisers/get.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

## Query parameters

- `query` string, required
- `limit` integer

## Response `200`

OK

- AdviserSearchResponse
  - `totalMatches` integer: Total advisers matching the query, before the limit truncation — when it exceeds the number of rows returned, narrow the query or raise limit.
  - `listingNotice` ListingNotice: What happened to a requested ticker that no longer trades. "delisted": the company has no current US listing, so the answer is its history. "renamed": the company now trades as successorTicker, its current US presentation ticker (possibly another share class). A listed series (short volume, short interest, off-exchange volume, fails-to-deliver, congressional trades) is the retired ticker's own; a company-level read is the company's data.
    - `status` string, nullable: "delisted" or "renamed".
    - `ticker` string, nullable: The retired ticker as listed.
    - `delistedOn` string, date, nullable: The day the retired listing stopped trading, when known.
    - `successorTicker` string, nullable: For "renamed", the company's current US presentation ticker; null for "delisted".
  - `data` InvestmentAdviserSummaryDto[], nullable
    - `crd` integer: Organization CRD number — the adviser's stable identifier; use it with GET v1/investment-advisers/{crd} for full detail.
    - `legalName` string, nullable
    - `primaryBusinessName` string, nullable: "Doing business as" name when it differs from the legal name.
    - `city` string, nullable
    - `state` string, nullable
    - `country` string, nullable
    - `totalRegulatoryAum` integer, nullable: Total regulatory assets under management in US dollars; null when not reported.
    - `numberOfEmployees` integer, nullable: Employees performing investment advisory functions; null when not reported.
    - `asOfDate` string, date: The Form ADV bulk-extract snapshot this row was read from. Figures come from the adviser's most recent filing, which can be older — without this date a stale row is indistinguishable from a current one.
