Regulatory record
How DBL is registered
From this firm's Form ADV, the annual filing every registered and exempt investment adviser makes to the SEC.
| Adviser status | Exempt reporting adviser |
| Regulatory assets under management | Not reported by an ERA |
| Private funds advised | 8 · $9.2bn gross |
| SEC adviser number | CRD 174991 |
An exempt reporting adviser is not required to report regulatory assets under management, so the blank above means the question was not asked rather than that the answer is unknown. Where a figure exists it is the gross asset value of the private funds the firm advises, which is a different and usually larger measure.
