NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

Section 61-1-2 describes the acts of investment advisers which are deemed to be unlawful, and provides that the Division may, by rule, adopt exemptions from the section's requirements for investment advisory contracts. Section 61-1-24 allows the Division to make rules when necessary to carry out provisions of the chapter.

 

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

No written comments have been received.

 

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

The rule defines the circumstances under which an exception to the prohibition against performance-based fees contained in Section 61-1-2 is permissible. It protects the public by ensuring that specific requirements are met before an investment adviser may receive performance-based compensation for investment advisory services. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
